Unexpected chaos in the bagging area during Greater Manchester Morrisons mayhem
A woman in a wheelchair began 'throwing items' and 'attacking' people during a self-checkout rampage in a Morrisons store, witnesses have claimed. The footage, filmed at the supermarket in Eccles on Tuesday (June 3) appeared to show a woman launching a number of different items into the air as onlookers can be heard gasping and shouting. During the heated exchange, which appeared to be with another customer also using the self-service tills, a voice is then heard shouting 'you stupid b****' as the woman is seen to pick up a number of other products from the till and hurl them towards the customer.

The woman is then filmed as she goes to repeatedly kick the other customer and continue attacking her after falling to the ground. The chaos then continues as the woman goes on to hit out at a separate customer as she is held back by another. A third customer appears to then kick her. The two women then both fall to the ground gripping one another as they are surrounded by a group of onlookers who try to drag them apart. One customer, who filmed the heated exchange said the woman with wheelchair 'started screaming and throwing things' but had no idea 'what set her off'. "To be honest, I am not too sure what set her off. She just started screaming and throwing things," she said. "Then she got out of her chair and attacked a poor woman who only came in for a balloon." Another witness then claimed that the woman began 'swinging' at an officer after police were called to the supermarket on Tuesday evening. Greater Manchester Police confirmed they were called at around 6.15pm to the Morrisons store on Irwell Place to reports of two women fighting. One woman was arrested at the scene on suspicion of assault and assaulting a police officer. No further details have been confirmed. --- Day in day out, our reporters in the Manchester Evening News newsroom bring you remarkable stories from all aspects of Mancunian life.

Date revealed for removal of George Square statues
They will return next year and be back in place for the re-opening of the new look square. The council said: 'Between 12-23 May, the 11 bronze statues in the Square will be removed - for conservation and restoration - before their return to the Square in 2026.' The 11 statues are of famous and renowned people for their achievements across politics, arts, science and military. They are poets, Robert Burns, and Thomas Campbell, engineer, James Watt, chemist, Thomas Graham, politicians, Robert Peel, William Gladstone and James Oswald, military figures, Field Marshall Lord Clyde and John Moore and two horseback statues of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. The contract for the construction work has now been signed. The contract, worth £20.499million awarded to Rainton Constructions. It covers not only the George Square works, but also the creation of Avenues at North Hanover Street (between Cathedral Street and George Square); George Street (between Montrose Street and George Square); West George Street (between Nelson Mandela Place and George Square); Cochrane Street and St Vincent Place. 'These works will be done in two phases, with George Square, St Vincent Place and West George Street due for completion in August 2026, and Cochrane Street and the sections of George Street and North Hanover Street to be complete in the Spring of 2027. The new tree species to be planted in George Square and the surrounding Avenues through the project include 'Robin Hill' Pink Juneberry; 'Frans Fontaine' Hornbeam; 'Forest Pansy' Redbud; Oleaster; 'Autumn Gold' Gingko; Burgundy Sweetgum; a couple of Rowan species; a number of Flowering Cherry species; and Pin Oak. Councillor Angus Millar, Convener for City Centre Recovery at Glasgow City Council, said: 'This is a huge milestone in the transformation of George Square. "The appointment of Rainton means the main construction works are now just weeks away, adding real momentum and a sense of excitement to this historic project. "Glaswegians will already have seen the construction site starting to take shape but the appointment of this contractor is the last major piece of the jigsaw. "Over the 16 or so months from June, we will see a new and significantly improved public space take shape – a new square on a par with many of our international peers, one Glaswegians can be proud of, and which is fitting of a city of our standing.'

A Wyoming judge suspends abortion clinic regulations while a lawsuit proceeds
Wyoming's only abortion clinic can resume providing surgical abortions after a judge on Monday suspended two state laws. District Judge Thomas Campbell issued the ruling in a lawsuit filed by Wellspring Health Access and others to challenge the laws. One law requires clinics providing surgical abortions to be licensed as outpatient surgical centers and the other requires women to get an ultrasound before a medication abortion. Wellspring Health Access stopped providing abortions February 28, the day after Republican Gov. Mark Gordon signed the licensing requirement into law. The clinic has continued to provide hormone replacement therapy for transgender patients. Gordon vetoed the requirement for an ultrasound at least 48 hours before a pill abortion, calling it onerous in cases of abuse, rape, or when a woman's health is at risk. State lawmakers voted to override the veto March 5. Opponents call laws like Wyoming's requirements 'targeted restrictions on abortion providers' because they can regulate clinics and abortion access out of existence even if abortion remains legal. The surgical center licensing requirement would require costly renovations to make Wellspring Health Access compliant, the clinic said in its lawsuit. The ultrasound requirement did not significantly affect clinic operations but Wellspring Health Access also suspended offering pill abortions to avoid legal complications. The clinic opened in 2023, almost a year late after heavy damage from an arson attack. Abortion has remained legal in Wyoming while the same groups and women challenge state abortion bans passed since 2022 that include the first explicit ban on abortion pills in the U.S. Arguments before the state Supreme Court in that case were made April 16 in Cheyenne. A state district court judge ruled in November that the bans violated the Wyoming Constitution, specifically a 2012 amendment that says competent adults have the right to make their own health care decisions.
