A violent abuser wanted on recall to prison has taunted police by replying to a GMP appeal on Facebook.

Anthony Broomhead, 38, who has links to Ashton and Wythenshawe, said "Catch me if you can" on a GMP Tameside social media post asking for information about his whereabouts.

Broomhead has a string of convictions for violence, including against his former partner.

It isn't known whether officers will have enough information to track his IP address.

GMP ask that anybody with information call them on 0161 856 5889, the non-emergency 101 number, or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
