A top lawyer whose car was wrongly targeted in a bungled police sting says he will make a formal complaint after the incident - which left his son 'traumatised.'
Nazir Afzal, who is a chancellor at the University of Manchester, had been driving his son home from a late shift in Wythenshawe at 11.30pm on Sunday (July 9) when police deployed a stinger on his 4X4 vehicle.
Greater Manchester Police said the mistake was made after an 'incorrect' report of a stolen car. Mr Afzal said officers told him a vehicle with a similar number plate had been reported as stolen in the West Midlands area, but one of the digits had been entered incorrectly.
