Taximark Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 It got confirmed to me today in person, the driver only asked him to drink his bottle in case he spilt it, the yob reacted angrily to this, he then smashed the bottle and stabbed him in the eye, the Taxi Driver has now lost his eye, how and why someone would do that just shows what cowards we live next too, he'll probably get a light sentence and will be in the pub again in a few months time.

Andy Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 There is another article in today's Star: http://www.thestar.co.uk/news/local/our-lives-ruined-attacked-sheffield-taxi-driver-left-blind-in-one-eye-1-4762625 THE WIFE and children of a Sheffield taxi driver blinded in one eye after an unprovoked assault said the attack had ‘ruined his life.’ Arshad Mahmood, aged 40, of Nether Edge, was struck in the face with a bottle on Fox Hill Road, Birley Carr, after telling a customer he was not allowed to drink alcohol in his cab. The married dad-of-three was taken to hospital for an operation but doctors failed to save the sight in his right eye. Speaking exclusively to The Star, his wife Arsheed Mahmood said: “I haven’t been able to sleep since. Normal life has stopped, our world has been turned upside down. “This is an injury which has ruined my husband’s life.” Whoever did this should be behind bars. If anyone has any information please speak to the police. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mafya Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Terrible if true, did you get a name? Also notice how a thread has barely anyone contributing to it for such a serious violent crime although if someone had been overcharged by 30p there would be 500 posts etc, in my opinion of course. I will give you a clue, the victim is a muslim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taximark Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I will give you a clue, the victim is a muslim. Shouldn't mean a thing mate, I very much doubt a hardworking man would be over looked by some scrote just because of his race, we don't live in 1980s South Africa. On a side note do you drive a Merc?

MT2010 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 "Also notice how a thread has barely anyone contributing to it for such a serious violent crime" Alcohol is a factor in nearly half of all violent crimes.. 24-hour boozing...thanks to Labour...“Don’t give a XXXX for last orders – vote Labour for extra time.” responsible drinking ? now its dangerous...Broken Britain Another thing...there is NO law and order...the guy who done it will be let of lightly :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
