An investigation has been launched over a video which appears to show a police officer 'elbowing' a man in the face as he lay on the ground.
The short clip, shared to Twitter (X), shows a number of GMP officers holding a male to the ground outside Roxy Ballroom on Saturday night (April 27).
Details about the incident have not been revealed by Greater Manchester Police, but the force has said it has been referred to their Professional Standards Directorate who are investigating after the clip was posted online.

The video appears to show an officer 'elbowing' a man multiple times as he is held to the ground by colleagues. GMP say they "understand how concerning" the incident appears from the short clip, and that enquires will continue to establish the full circumstances involved.
As part of the investigation, footage filmed by body worn cameras will also be reviewed.
A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police said: "We were made aware of a video on social media that was filmed in Manchester city centre on 27/4/24 and immediately referred it to our Professional Standards Directorate, who are now investigating.
"We understand how concerning this interaction appears to have been. We will work to establish the circumstances to understand the wider context beyond this online clip and this will include reviewing full body worn footage."
