A man was battered by a gang of men after getting into what he thought was a taxi.
At around 12.55pm on Sunday, December 4, a 23-year-old man from Runcorn was walking along Moulders Lane, Warrington, when he knocked on the window of a black car thinking it was a taxi. Three people then got out the car and started to kick and punch the victim.
The 23-year-old managed to escape the gang and found Cheshire Police officers nearby. He was taken to hospital with serious injuries to his face.
