Abusive man banned from Manchester city centre

    A man has been banned from Manchester city centre after the cumulative impact of his harassing behaviour.

    Stanley Freeman, 58, of Waterton Lane, Mossley, was issued with a one-year anti-social behaviour injunction (ASBI) banning him from Manchester city centre due to intimidating and erratic behaviour - including the use of threatening, homophobic and sexually inappropriate language.

    The move came after Freeman’s behaviour had caused alarm across the entire city centre, particularly at restaurants in the Corn Exchange and on King Street. The pattern of Freeman’s anti-social actions dates back at least six years.

    In one case, Freeman threatened to shoot staff in Rosso Restaurant and Bar in Spring Gardens.
