At 15:55 yesterday we were contacted by @NWAmbulance who were requesting our assistance near Rivington Pike. A three year old boy was out walking with his family just below the Pike tower when he was struck by a male riding a mountian bike. Continued... facebook.com/58756182794365…
As we enter further easing of restrictions this weekend the @NWAmbulance have enhanced their plans to ensure we can respond to the increase in demand we will face. Please be careful, and remember we are still dealing with COVID-19. #SaveLives
How many other countries have unarmed officers running towards knife wielding killers. British Police really are quite remarkable when you stop to think about that.

Incident 23/2009
As team members were at our Ladybridge Hall base / HQ at the conclusion of our involvement in the ’Muddy March Hare’ events, our Team Leader Garry Rhodes MBE was contacted directly by NWAS (Manchester) Control at circa 12.32hrs, requesting the teams assistance at an off road quad bike incident.
The incident location was one well known to the team, the large open land area off Liverpool Road, Eccles, opposite Manchester City Airport (Barton as was)
Our Four Landrover Mountain Rescue Ambulances were able to make an immediate response, with 16x team members in total directly involved in the response.
The NWAA Helimed 08 was unavailable as it was already on another tasking, so NWAS (Manchester) called upon the services of the GMP Air Support Unit helicopter India 99 (based almost opposite the incident location on the edge of Manchester City Airport)
The GMP ASU helicopter ’India 99’ which has a secondary aeromedical evacuation capability was able to land near to the injured female quad biker, and airlift her to the nearby NWAS Emergency Ambulance.
With this our team vehicles which were now barely minutes away from the incident RVP were stood down by NWAS (Manchester) at 12.50hrs.
