Boy, 15, is held after 13-year-old lad who took ‘ecstasy’ and collapsed at tram stop is left fighting for his life

A TEENAGER has been arrested after a 13-year-old boy was hospitalised for taking what is believed to be ecstasy.

Police were called to Timperley tram station in Manchester on Saturday after reports that a teenage boy had become unwell.

He was immediately rushed to hospital where he remains in a critical but stable condition.

Authorities believe the collapse was caused by consumption of either MDMA or a form of ecstasy known as 'Magic' - the exact substance has not yet been confirmed however.

And today a 15-year-old boy from the Trafford area of the city was arrested on suspicion of supplying Class A drugs and perverting the course of justice.

He remains in police custody

Detective Inspector Carl Gilbert, from GMP’s Trafford borough, said: “Our thoughts remain with the boy’s family at this difficult time.

“Sadly this is another example of the consequences of taking drugs and I would urge anyone who is tempted to take drugs to stop and think about the implications.

“You don’t know what they contain or how they could affect you, so please don’t risk it.

“Our investigations continue to progress and our officers are speaking with a teenage in boy in custody and making further enquiries.

“I would still urge anyone who has any information about this incident to please call us on 101.

“Also, if anyone is in possession of these drugs I would urge them to hand them in to the police and if you have taken any then please go to hospital immediately as a precaution to get yourself checked over.”
