Baby dies after 'incident' at Manchester home as 999 crews flood city street

A baby has tragically died following an incident at a home in Manchester . Multiple emergency service vehicles were reported on Platt Lane in Fallowfield on Thursday, with an air ambulance also spotted landing nearby. Neighbours said they saw ambulances and police cars at the scene, close to the junction with Yew Tree Road. One person said she saw a paramedic run out of a property with a baby, describing it as "terrifying" and "very scary". Another neighbour said: "There was a lot of police and two ambulances. I heard one of them mention a child." Detectives and forensic crime scene investigation (CSI) officers were seen as an investigation began, the Manchester Evening News reports. "I didn't see or hear anything until a police officer knocked on my door," a third neighbour said. "There was one in uniform and one in plain clothes. The one in plain clothes just said there had been an incident and asked if I'd heard anything. He didn't say any more." It is understood that the baby died at the scene. It is not yet known whether the child's death is being treated as suspicious. The North West Ambulance Service confirmed paramedics attended an incident at a private address, but declined to give further details.
