A 25-year-old man from Rochdale has been charged with possession of a firearm, possession with intent to supply and dangerous driving.
Ahad Hussain was arrested on 11 October 2022, following a police pursuit on Tweedale Street in Rochdale. During the pursuit, Hussain's car collided with another car, and he was detained by officers at the scene.
He was then taken to Fairfield Hospital in Bury to receive treatment for serious but not life-threatening injuries, thought to be sustained during the collision.
Shortly after a concealed firearm was safely recovered without any further incident or risk to the public.
A scene was put in place in part of the hospital and investigators attended to conduct additional enquiries.
Hussain has now been remanded in custody and will appear in Manchester Magistrates Court today (13 October).
