A man has been arrested after a vicious attack on a taxi driver. As reported in the Manchester Evening News, Mohammed Zubair was lured into a dead end street before being assaulted by a thug wearing a knuckle duster.
He suffered a fracture to his cheekbone in the incident in Monsall on May 3, which he believes was racially motivated. Mr Zubair says he had picked up a young girl and a man from the area and taken them to a convenience store in Rochdale Road, Harpurhey. But on the return journey he claims he was asked to drive into a different street and punched from behind by the man.
In a statement today, Greater Manchester Police said: "A 30-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of section 20 assault. He remains in custody at this time."
