No other injuries have so far been reported, other than a minor physical injury to the hand of an officer who intervened to help remove the man from the Consulate grounds out of fear for his safety.

So far, no arrests have been made and enquiries will continue for 'as long as necessary'.

Assistant chief constable Rob Potts said: “We’re aware and totally understand the amount of focus on this investigation due to the weekend’s events causing shock and concern in the city and much wider afield.

“Our experienced detectives are diligently working through a lot of evidence and statements to ensure they have a comprehensive understanding of the timeline of events that lead to this initially peaceful protest unexpectedly escalating in the way it appears to have done.

“There are many strands to this complex and sensitive inquiry, and we will do all we can to achieve as many answers as possible, but I must stress that this investigation will take time and we will provide as regular an update as we can in due course.”

Yesterday, two of Bolton's MPs spoke about the incident.

Yasmin Qureshi, MP for Bolton South East, described the attack at the on a pro-democracy protester as "deeply concerning".

She added: "Issues like this should be dealt with swiftly as they violate values of autonomy and freedom of speech that we hold so dear."

Bolton West MP Chris Green said: "The scenes at the Chinese Consulate are shocking and this needs to be thoroughly investigated both by Greater Manchester Police and by the Home Office."

He added: “This should never have happened and should never be allowed to happen again.”
