A 34-year-old man has been arrested trying to get into Parklife festival with a huge blade, Greater Manchester Police have confirmed. The inches-long knife was pictured at the Heaton Park festival this evening as revellers continued to stream in and out of the event.
Police were called to reports of a man causing a disturbance as he tried to enter the festival. There has been a heavy officer presence across the festival this weekend.
In images from the incident, the man can be seen being led away in handcuffs. Meanwhile, a police officer holds the large kitchen-style knife.
