A journalist has described the shocking moment an 'aggressive drunk' hurled vile homophobic abuse at him and a friend then shoved him into the side of a taxi.
Daniel McLaughlin, a podcast producer based at the Manchester Evening News , was waiting for a taxi in the early hours of Friday morning (August 12) after a night out in Manchester's Gay Village.
The 28-year-old, who is bisexual and was wearing a rainbow badge, was stood with his non-binary friend waiting for the taxi to arrive on Sackville Street at the time. Daniel said he noticed a man who appeared to be in his early 20s heading towards them from Sackville Gardens.
