Drunk teens launched violent, unprovoked attack on Chorlton taxi office throwing bottles, bricks and spitting
manchestereveningnews.co.ukA group of drunk teenagers launched a violent, unprovoked attack on a taxi rank after believing they left their phone - they threw bottles, bricks and spat at the workers.
Summer Downie and Wiktor Ostrowski, both 18, turned up at the office in Chorlton both claiming they had tried to ring in. At around 00.50am on April 17 last year, they turned up at the Goodwins Olympic taxi office, and were told by the taxi dispatcher that the phone lines had been down.
The teenagers said they ‘did not care’ and wanted their phone back. Manchester Crown Court heard that both pushed into the office and came towards the dispatcher and pushed him.
He was hit to the face and pushed them both back in an attempt to protect himself.
