    ... appears to have been caused by two men trying to nick his taxi, then slamming the door on his head. Taxi ranks - the source of much trouble, seen it before. Better organising or policing of these, especially in the early hours, might save a lot of trouble - much of which goes unreported.

    it should be policed by the firms themselves...

    Like that one in wakefield up the side street.

    They put everyone in queues themselves, never seen any trouble up their misen

    When they tried to organise taxis outside Pharaohs the staff took all the abuse. Pissed up morons unfortunately. Can't legislate for everything.

    Why ?

    Taxis provide a service.  If they had to police it themselves then the costs would have to go up.  Perhaps have a few CCTV cameras in position with a response team ready to act might be in order.

    RE: Why ?

    Why can't people police themselves and wait in a queue?!
