Shocking video reveals how Spice drug can turn people into 'walking dead'

This is the shocking, grim reality of how the drug Spice can turn people into 'the walking dead.'

The footage from the Manchester Evening News was shot on Tib Street in the Northern Quarter. It shows three people in a trance-like state, virtually turned into statues.

City centre youth charity Lifeshare told how the extra-potent batch of Spice had emerged around the end of February, prompting a series of collapses and a surge in ambulance call-outs.

Charity worker Julie Boyle said it was turning clusters of people into the ‘walking dead’.

Police are warning of the ‘chaos’ being caused by the substance. They were called to 11 collapses in eight hours in Manchester city centre.
