The Manchester police are on the hunt for 38-year-old taxi operator Deneil Ricardo May accused of hitting then pushing his 16-year-old girlfriend from his moving car.

The police say about 3p.m on Thursday, the girl, along with her two siblings took the taxi of the man with whom she has been intimately involved.

While travelling from Trout Hall, Clarendon to Christiana, Manchester, the taxi driver reportedly asked to see the young girl's phone and began accusing her of cheating on him.

Later in the journey, the girl allegedly told the driver that their relationship was over and asked that she be allowed to get out of the vehicle.

It is reported that the driver hit the girl in the face and then shoved her from the moving vehicle.

In an attempt to force him to stop the car, her brother attacked the driver and squeezed his throat.

The driver then stopped the vehicle and fled.

The young girl who sustained head injuries was unconscious.

She was rushed to the Percy Junor Hospital where she remains in a stable but serious condition.

The police say May, also known as Keroy should report to the Spalding Police Station as soon as possible. 

NOTE: Earlier, the police had said the taxi driver was wanted for attempted murder. However, they now only say he is wanted in connection with the incident.
