Men attack taxi driver

A Telford taxi driver was assaulted by a group believed to be carrying a knife in an early morning Christmas Day attack. The driver of a black cab was punched in the face after taking five men from Oakengates to Malinslee at about 12.15am on Saturday.

Seats were damaged in the cab and the driver was punched through an open window.

Police said initial reports suggested the group also wielded a knife, but it was not used in the attack.

A police spokesman said the driver suffered minor injuries in the assault.



Brave guys, five of them, why the paper uses the word men is a mystery
