A knowledge boy was brutally attacked by a passenger whilst working as a minicab driver.
Matt Flannigan received multiple lacerations to the face and neck after being allegedly bottled by a passenger in the vehicle. The attacker is said to have proceeded to throttle Mr Flannigan and attempted further injury with a now broken wine bottle.
The victim was working as a minicab driver in the Downham area on Friday 9th November when the attack occurred to supplement his knowledge studies to become a taxi driver.
Mr Flannigan's knowledge partner and longtime friend Jay Stewart has set up a crowd funding page asking the trade to help financially by raising £1000.
