Merc-rage drug dealer smashed car window and punched woman driver

 A MERC-DRIVING drug dealer jumped on a woman's bonnet, smashed her windscreen and then punched her in the face in a road-rage row.

Akaash Hussain was sentenced for the offence alongside three men for their part in a huge drugs operation.

Hussain appeared alongside his brother, Zeeshan Hussain, Mohammed Haq and Mustafa Zaidi at Manchester Crown Court for four incidents.

The first was a drugs operation run by the Hussain brothers out of a flat in Albany Court in Redcar Avenue, Withington, rented by Zeeshan's girlfriend at the time in 2018.

Geoff Whelan, prosecuting, told the court the trio were involved in supplying cocaine, cannabis, and ketamine in a 'mid-level' commercial enterprise, with business cards found at the property with the word 'Aqua' on them and a phone number linked to one of the drug lines used by the Hussain brothers.

The scheme also used online noticeboard Craigslist to advertise drugs for sale.

Police started investigating after neighbours became suspicious, and stopped Zeeshan, now 21, in Manchester city centre.
