Taxi driver stabbed in robbery attempt Police are appealing for witnesses after a taxi driver was robbed in Milton Keynes in the early hours of Thursday morning (2/7). A taxi was hired to pick up a fare around 1.05am from The London Pride, Lakes Estate, Bletchley. As the driver arrived, two men approached the taxi from a nearby alleyway. One man got into the rear of the taxi, threatened the driver with a knife and demanding money from him. The other offender opened the driver’s door and stabbed him twice with an unknown object. The driver sounded his horn and both men ran off empty-handed towards Fern Grove, Lakes Estate. The driver sustained minor injuries to his leg and received medical treatment at Milton Keynes General Hospital, from where he has since been discharged. The offenders are white men; the offender who got into the rear of the taxi aged between 25 and 30, between 5ft 11ins and 6ft, slim, light brown hair, clean shaven and has a yellow complexion.
