Glasgow Driver Targeted in Racist Attack | UK News

A Glasgow delivery driver, Muhammad Jawad Yaqoob, is too terrified to leave his home or return to work after being targeted with racist abuse and a traffic cone thrown at him during a protest. The incident, captured on video, shows demonstrators chanting hateful slogans before hurling the cone at him — an act that shattered his sense of safety in a city he once found welcoming. Now, he’s struggling with anxiety and financial hardship, feeling abandoned by authorities who’ve taken little action beyond an initial investigation. As police arrest fifteen others for related acts of violence, Yaqoob’s story highlights a disturbing wave of racial intimidation coinciding with the Commonwealth Games — a moment meant to celebrate unity, now marred by fear and injustice.
