People are searching for two men after a woman's car was doused in a corrosive substance outside a school in Openshaw.
Officers were called to Parkhouse Street to reports that two men had damaged a car as a woman was collecting her two children from the school.
It happened at around 3:20pm on Tuesday 25th September.
The men, who were both wearing dark clothing and balaclavas, smashed the windows with weapons before pouring the unknown substance on the car.
A search of the area is ongoing and police say they're determined to find those responsible.
Inspector Colin Macdiarmid, of GMP’s City of Manchester Division, said: “I know this incident will cause a lot of concern in the local community but I want to assure people in the area that we are responding and have officers working to find the men responsible.
“We will continue to have increased visible patrols in the area for some time and I would encourage anyone with concerns to get in touch with police."
