A woman has been arrested and an investigation launched after a disabled man was allegedly assaulted in the car park of Forest Bank prison. The Manchester Evening News understands the woman works as a prison officer.
A disabled man claims he was punched, dragged around and sworn at after commenting that a woman had parked in a disabled bay. John Baines drove more than 90 miles from his home in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, to visit his father in prison. It was the first visit since his dad was jailed three months ago.
John, 36, says he parked in the Forest Bank car park, in Salford, and was soon joined by a prison officer who parked her car in a disabled bay nearby. John says he is disabled after being stabbed in his lower back in 2013, he struggles to walk and has to use a walking stick.

"So I told her 'I'm the disabled f****** idiot, you're parked in a disabled bay."
John claims he took a picture of her car before returning to his own vehicle, where he sat down but left the door open in the hot weather. The woman demanded John hand over his phone, he claims.
When John refused he claims he was 'punched in the left then the right side' of his face.
"She tried to drag my phone off me, I tried to get to the passenger side of my car to get away from her, but she grabbed me by
