Police are following a number of lines of enquiry but are appealing to passengers who may have been on the bus at this time or any members of the public who may have seen something.
Chief Inspector Amy Warden from GMP Oldham district said: “Thankfully no injuries have been reported but understandably a number of young people have been left shaken by these incidents.
“We are keen to speak to anyone who may have been in the area of Oldham Road, Grotton on Friday between 4pm and 4:30pm, or any passengers on the bus who witnessed anything suspicious.
“Please also get in touch if you have any footage – including CCTV, mobile or dashcam footage – that could help with enquires.”
