'Masked men' attack paparazzi outside Ryan Giggs' home

A van of masked men have reportedly attacked the cars of photographers camped outside the house of Ryan Giggs, the Manchester United footballer who finds himself caught up in a super-injunction storm.

Police were called to Chatsworth Road in the village of Worsley this afternoon, according to Sky News.

A statement issued by Greater Manchester Police said: "Officers attended and discovered at least six cars had been vandalised after a group of offenders arrived in a Ford Transit van and attacked the vehicles.

'Inquiries are continuing.'

Reporters said cars belonging to them were kicked and covered in flour and eggs and car tyres were slashed.

Several men wearing balaclavas burst out of a Ford Transit van and attacked the vehicles before fleeing the scene.


The media has descended on the Giggs household after it was revealed in Parliament yesterday that the Welsh legend was behind a gagging order which prohibited details of an alleged affair with reality star Imogen Thomas from emerging.
