A loving father has said he has been left “troubled” after his vulnerable son was attacked at a Metrolink stop, causing him to nearly fall off the platform.
Quing Yum, from Moston, was travelling with his 12-year-old son, as well as his four-year-old child on 14 May. They boarded the tram at Victoria station, alongside a group of young men, who then called his son an “idiot”.
His son, who is severely autistic, was upset by the exchange. Dad Quing explained he would react to and understand the situation differently due to his autism.
