Man arrested after Sikh priest assaulted in Manchester city centre

A 28-year-old man has been arrested after a Sikh priest was attacked on the street in Manchester city centre.

Police were called by paramedics to Tib Street in the Northern Quarter after the priest was found unconscious in the road.

CCTV showed he had been assaulted close to the junction of Hilton Street and left out cold in the road.

He still remains in hospital, police said yesterday, as they confirmed a man has now been arrested on suspicion of section 20 assault following a renewed appeal for information this week. The man was in custody for questioning last night.
