There were two men in the front of the vehicle and a woman sat in the back. The driver got out the car and walked around to the rear passenger seat, where he opened the door and was seen to assault the woman and hurl abuse at her.
He is described as an Asian man in his 30s, around 5ft 9, with a bald head, skinny build, and wearing a grey tracksuit with a thin black coat. The woman was described as having a blonde messy bun, aged approximately in her 30s, wearing a black fur coat.
It was reported that her hands were tied with a black string or rope. CCTV then showed the vehicle driving off on Alderglen Road towards Cheetham Hill Road.
