A 34-year-old man has been charged with attempted assault and battery after an incident at a tram stop.

Nathan Wright, of Sale, has also been accused of possession of a controlled drug, a Greater Manchester Police spokesman said.

He has been held in custody and is set to appear at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court next Monday.

The charges relate to an incident at the Metrolink tram stop near Old Trafford on 22 March, the force spokesman added.

It comes after footage emerged that appeared to show a transport worker being attacked at the stop.
