A PRESTWICH man suffered a suspected fractured skull when he was repeatedly struck with a baseball bat after an argument with a car driver.
The vicious attack took place seconds after the 52-year-old victim had accused the driver of going through a puddle and splashing him.
Detectives are investigating the attack which took place outside the Metrolink Station in Stanley Road, Whitefield.
The injured man was treated in Fairfield General Hospital for a suspected fractured skull and multiple cuts and bruises to his head and body.
The man police are hunting is white, aged 25-35, 5ft 9ins tall with short fair hair and stocky build, around 13 stone in weight. He was driving what police only describe as a white saloon car.
Anyone with information about the attack, which happened at 9.20pm on Friday, is asked to ring Whitefield CID on 856 8240.
