A MAN was bitten after a struggle with a motorcyclist who was trying to flee the scene of a crash.
The collision between a Honda motorbike and a car happened on Ashtons Green Drive, Parr on Saturday afternoon, shortly before 2pm.
It is alleged the motorbike rider attempted to escape the scene but he was detained by a member of the public, who was allegedly assaulted.
Pictures posted on social media by police show a man's hand with what appears to be a bite mark.
