About 15 minutes later the cabbie woke up dizzy and in pain – his face flat on the driveway - with his mouth and eyebrows severely bleeding. He called the police but when the two officers got out of their vehicle the man who as- saulted Mr Rahman came out of the
house angrily ques- tioning why they were there. Mr Rahman told the officers that this was the man who had punched him, how- ever, he says they did not question or arrest him. The taxi driver was then driven to hos- pital where he was given 14 stitches for
his bloodied lip. Mr Rahman said: “I was very disap- pointed with the police because I was seriously injured outside this person’s house but they did not ask him about this incident. “Instead, they asked me to give a state- ment on the way to hospital but I was in
too much pain.” The man said he has called the police several times to give a statement but that nobody has given him a call back. A police spokesper- son confirmed that the incident is being investigated, howev- er they said no arrests have been made.
