Man fighting for life after he was 'attacked inside a minicab' A man is fighting for his life in hospital after he was attacked in a minicab as he made his way home from a night out. Detectives from the City of London Police are appealing for witnesses and information following the incident, which happened at about 11.20pm last night. The 23-year-old man got into the car near Farringdon station with four other passengers following a night out, and the car took them through the City of London. As the cab drove along Farringdon Street it is believed the victim was assaulted while inside the vehicle, police said. The driver stopped the cab near to the bus stop close to the junction with Old Seacol Lane, just north of Ludgate Circus, and emergency services were called. Police and paramedics raced to the scene, and the victim was taken to hospital, where he currently remains in a critical condition. The man's next of kin have been informed. Officers arrested one of the other passengers at the scene on suspicion of GBH. The 32-year-old man currently remains in police custody, and no other arrests have been made at this time. It is believed the victim and the other passengers inside the cab were all known to each other. Detectives are urging any witnesses or anyone with information who may have been in Farringdon Street at the time the cab stopped to get in touch with them. Detective Inspector Kazim Toprak, from the City of London Police said: “We want to hear from anybody who might have been in Farringdon Street and who may have seen what happened as the cab pulled up and stopped. "There may have been people waiting at the bus stops nearby to Old Seacol Lane, which is not far from Ludgate Circus. "We’re keen to establish the full circumstances which have led to a young man being critically ill in hospital, so please get in touch with any information you may have.” Anyone with information should contact the City of London Police on 0207 601 2222 or call Crimestoppers, which is completely anonymous, on 0800 555 111. source: http://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/ma ... 31166.html
