A police officer from Greater Manchester Police on duty in the city centre
VIDEO footage circulated on social media at the weekend showed Greater Manchester Police (GMP) forcing Gypsy and Traveller children out of the city centre and onto a train.
In one video, a distressed young man shouted: “I don’t know where I’m going!” as a row of police lined the platform and forced them onto a carriage.
One girl, 13 and from Doncaster — ended up more than 100 miles away from Manchester in Grimsby, her mother reported.
