Police probe taxi terror

A 29-year-old taxi driver has been arrested and bailed after a man was dragged along the road by a mini-cab.

The 23-year-old victim’s main injuries are to both ears but he also suffered cuts and grazes to his body.

A police spokesman said he was likely to be in hospital, believed to be Wythenshawe, for some time.

The incident happened in Dowry Street, Oldham, in the early hours of Saturday in what police say was an argument over the fare.

The victim got out of the car but was caught by a door and dragged along.

The driver has been reported to Oldham Council’s Licensing Department.

A council spokesman said: “Police are investigating this incident and we are liaising with them.”
