Detectives in Middleton are appealing for witnesses after a man was shot during an incident in the Welcome Inn on Bowness Road in the early hours of Saturday 4 November 2006.

Shortly after 1.30am it is believed several masked men went into the pub and began to smash glasses and tables.

A disturbance broke out and a 29-year-old man from Middleton was taken to North Manchester General Hospital suffering from what is believed to have been a gunshot wound to his left knee. He has since been discharged from hospital.

Anybody who was in the pub at the time of this incident or who knows anything about it is asked to contact Rochdale CID on 0161 856 4645 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
