Philly police: Paintball leaves taxi driver blind in 1 eye

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Philadelphia police have been looking for two men in a paintball attack that has left a taxi driver blind in one eye.

Philly.com (https://bit.ly/1P6LKLS ) reports 38-year-old Arshad Khan, of Chester County, was attacked Dec. 19.

That’s when police say someone fired a paintball at Khan’s cab about 12:30 a.m. He rolled down the window to investigate, and another paintball was fired, hitting him in the right eye.

Khan was treated at Hahnemann University Hospital and is now recovering at home. Khan, who is married with two children, has been unable to work since the attack.

Police are searching for two black men, possibly in their early 20s. They’ll face aggravated assault charges if they’re caught.
