A Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) worker sustained serious injuries after he was allegedly attacked by hawkers on Saturday outside Malad railway station in western suburb of the city.

A similar drive was undertaken by the party in Malad area on Saturday. MNS worker Sushant Malavade and other activists tried to evacuate hawkers from near the railway station area, it was then that some of the vendors allegedly attacked them, police said. Malavade, suffered serious injuries after which he was taken to a local hospital, said police. Mumbai Congress president Sanjay Nirupam on Saturday had said he would not tolerate such high-handedness of MNS leaders against the hawkers. The hawkers are capable enough to retaliate to any aggression from MNS, he said.
