Hunt is on for taxi attackers

TAXI driver Tony de la Haye (63), kicked in the groin last month in a vicious, unprovoked daylight attack, does not yet know whether he will walk again.

He remains in hospital after being in a two-week coma before he was able to alert anyone that the cause of his collapse was a nasty assault which has caused him pain and anguish.

This week, the police are stepping up their hunt for those responsible for his traumatic experience.
