Chaos ensued at Manchester’s Trafford Centre as fights broke out after motorists were trapped in traffic for over five hours
Manchester: It was a wild scene at the Trafford Centre today. Families were left in tears as fights broke out while cars were stuck for hours.
People were trapped in the car park for over five hours! The traffic was so bad that some couldn’t even get out of their parking spots. It was a mix of holiday shoppers and traffic from a nearby Manchester United game that caused the mess.
One guy, Cody, and his boyfriend Lewis went to see a show. They spent an hour just finding a parking spot. When they finally got back to their car, they were stuck for nearly five hours. Can you imagine?
As time dragged on, folks started getting really frustrated. Cody said it felt weird when everyone turned off their engines. After a while, people were getting angry, and that’s when things escalated.
He described it as a scene from a movie, with people shouting and even fighting. One lady was screaming about being stuck for five hours, and others were yelling back. It was a total mess, like a Christmas nightmare.
After all that time, Cody and Lewis just decided to stay put. They barely moved their car a few inches. It was chaos, with people swearing and shouting all around them.
Another couple, Natalia and Piyush, were also caught in the madness. They were just trying to pick up an order and ended up stuck for two hours. Natalia said she’d never seen anything like it, even during the holiday rush.
The Trafford Centre said the delays were due to a mix of holiday crowds and the football game. They’re working with the police to clear things up, but it sounds like a tough day for everyone involved.
