A TAXI driver was suspended from duty after an argument with police about an alleged offence.

Officers from the district’s anti-social bike unit warned the driver that he had entered a cycle box at red lights at the junction of Livingstone Road and Wrose Road, Wrose, Bradford.

A police spokesman said: “He denied committing any offence, was found to be in breach of some private hire regulations and was extremely argumentative towards the officer to the point where one of his young passengers was caused upset.”

The driver was suspended from driving for the rest of that day and police said he must attend an interview with Bradford Council.

The spokesman added: “The driver’s behaviour left us with no choice but to suspend him to prevent further issues. It is not a decision taken lightly and he will be dealt with appropriately.”
