A customer was attacked by a shopkeeper and then run over in a 'revenge' attack after a row in a convenience shop.
Shopkeeper Mohammed Iqbal hit the victim over the head with a glass bottle during the 'disgraceful' incident in Miles Platting.
The victim had been into the convenience store and had tried to buy beer, but a bank card did not work.

Iqbal, 33, accused him of 'messing about' and asked him 'are you taking the f****** piss?'
The victim said he believed the card belonged to his friend. He left the shop, and shortly after a car pulled up near him.
Iqbal and another man, who has not been identified by police, got out.
Iqbal hit him over the head with a glass bottle, telling him: "What are you saying now you cheeky c***?"
The driver got out and hit him over the head with a police baton.
The victim tried to run away but he was pursued by the car.
He was hit by the car, causing him to 'fly into the air', prosecutor Andrew Mackintosh told Manchester Crown Court.
Shortly after he was then kicked in the mouth, but didn't see who was responsible. The car then sped off.
Iqbal later pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
He admitted being the passenger in the car and hitting the victim over head with the bottle, which did not smash.
The victim was later found to have suffered a fractured pelvis and ankle, injuries thought to have been inflicted in the collision.
Now Iqbal has narrowly avoided jail, following the incident on April 12, 2019.
The judge, Recorder Sarah Johnston, said Iqbal had made a 'gross and dangerous overreaction'.
She told Iqbal: "You decided to pursue him, I am satisfied, in order to exact some sort of revenge for the grievance you felt.
"This can only be described as a premeditated and serious assault."
Defending, Saul Brody said: "This was clearly an incident which could and should have been avoided entirely.
"There are other ways of dealing with flash-point situations like this, the defendant bitterly regrets his involvement."
Mr Brody said Iqbal played the 'lesser role' in the attack.
"It was a hot-headed reaction rather than a cold-blooded one, if I can put it that way," he said.
Iqbal has no previous convictions and is otherwise law abiding and hard working, Mr Brody said.
Appealing for him to be spared jail, the barrister said it was an 'isolated incident' for Iqbal.
The judge agreed, also noting Iqbal had kept out of trouble since and that he has caring responsibilities.
Iqbal, of Chippenham Road, Ancoats, was sentenced to 15 months in prison, suspended for 18 months.
He must also complete 200 hours of unpaid work and 40 rehabilitation activity requirement days, and was ordered to pay the victim £200 in compensation.
The driver's identity was unknown to the police, the court heard.
