The suspect is 21-year-old Garfield Ross of Bloomfield Street, Mandeville, Manchester.
Reports are on Thursday, August 15 between 6am and 7am, a targeted raid was conducted at Ross’ premises, during which he tried to elude the police and injured himself in the process.
The police said he was taken to hospital, where he was treated and released.
