Police investigate metal pole attack on taxi in Stoke-on-Trent
A passenger was assaulted and a taxi was targeted during disorder in Shelton, say Staffordshire Police.
Police were called shortly after 2.50pm on Monday 28 September after reports of a group of men fighting in the street on Stoke Road, Shelton.
A man wearing a black T-shirt, blue jeans and white trainers was seen holding a metal pole and swinging it at a parked black Skoda taxi. A male passenger inside the vehicle was assaulted.
The passenger later left the scene in the taxi, while the suspect got into an Audi and also drove away. Footage of the incident has since circulated on social media.
Staffordshire Police said officers were carrying out enquiries and appealed for anyone with information to come forward. Reports can be made online or by calling 101, quoting incident 525 of 28 September.
