A MANCHESTER schoolboy was shot with a Taser during a police raid.

The 15-year-old was one of five people arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm during the swoop in Moss Side on Tuesday afternoon.

Armed police burst into the house in Broadoak Road and arrested three men, a woman and the 15-year-old boy.

Paramedics were called as a precaution, but the boy was not seriously injured, said police.
