A man has died after police shot him with a Taser, Greater Manchester Police have said.
The 23-year-old suffered a "medical episode" and died after police fired at him with the stun gun.
Police were responding to a disturbance in Beard Road, Gorton, at about 8.15pm where a man was armed with a knife.
Assistant Chief Constable Garry Shewan said: "Officers were dispatched immediately and arrived in eight minutes.
"On arrival, a Taser was discharged to detain a 23-year-old man.
"At this time it is unclear what happened but at some point afterwards the man suffered a medical episode.
"Paramedics performed first aid on the man at the scene before he was taken to hospital where he sadly died."
Mr Shewan said help has been provided for the man's family.
"Specially trained family liaison officers are supporting his family during this very difficult time," he said.
The man's death has been reported to the coroner and to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).
