A violent man, Lee Graham Wallbank, has been charged in relation to an incident at a primary school in Salford where he entered the building with a brick while yelling and acting abusively, frightening the staff and students.
Later on, he broke a classroom window. At this moment, all of the little children were present and terrorised by his actions.
According to reports, the school went “into lockdown.”
His unpredictable attitude was unexplained, but the safe-space illusion for the young children was destroyed by the coward.
Around ten in the morning on Friday, June 19, police were summoned to St. Mark’s RC Primary School on Queensway in Clifton, Swinton.
Later, a male was taken into custody on neighbouring Rake Lane.
Greater Manchester Police announced this morning (Sunday) that a man has subsequently been charged in relation to the incident.
Affray and criminal damage are the charges brought against Tyldesley Road resident Lee Graham Wallbank.
In addition, the 36-year-old is accused of violating a court order, which GMP claims is unrelated to the case.
Wallbank was given a four-year, six-month term in 2019 following many armed robberies.
Wallbank was found guilty of driving carelessly and without auto insurance in 2017 and received a 26-week sentence. He drove fast and carelessly, damaging several cars.
Wallbank was wanted on a jail recall in 2023. After a media campaign to locate him, he was subsequently taken into custody.
On Monday, June 22, Wallbank is scheduled to appear before the Manchester and Salford Magistrates’ Court.
We are aware of the incident that took place at St Mark’s Primary School in Swinton on Friday morning,” a Salford Diocese spokeswoman stated after the incident on behalf of the school.
The school will assist students, staff, families, and the larger school community while collaborating closely with pertinent emergency agencies. Our top priorities continue to be everyone’s safety, well-being, and pastoral care.”
