When one of the women told the men they were not interested, the men walked away. As they did, one of the women pretended to pour a drink over one of their heads.

A GMP spokesman said: "The report was made to GMP the following day and an investigation is ongoing. GMP would like to speak to the male (pictured) in connection to this incident and are appealing to the public for any information."
