Horrifying pictures have captured the moment two teenagers were seen 'risking their lives' and riding on tram connectors in Wythenshawe.
The pictures, snapped near to Hollyhedge Road on Friday afternoon (January 10) appear to show the two youths leaning on the front of tram carriages with their feet on the tram coupler, which connects the carriages together.
The images, taken from outside the Manchester College campus, were shared to a local social media group and received hundreds of responses.
One person wrote: "I hope the parents see this and give them what for. It doesn't bear thinking about what would happen if one or both of them slipped off and went under," as another said: "This actually angers me. Makes me feel physically sick."
Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) have confirmed they were made aware of the 'incredibly reckless' incident, which was reported to police.
Ian Davies, TfGM's Network Director for Metrolink said: “We are aware of this incident and are liaising with Greater Manchester Police.
“This type of behaviour is incredibly dangerous and reckless and could very easily result in death or very serious injury. We would urge people to stay safe and not be tempted into risking their lives in this way.
“Our staff patrol the network regularly and are vigilant, but we would urge anyone who sees anything like this to report it to the police or a member of Metrolink staff immediately.”
Greater Manchester Police has been contacted for a statement.
