Taxi driver helps stop attempted rape of woman in BuryA taxi driver helped stop the attempted rape of a woman by a man she met in a bar, police have said.
The woman met the man at The Blind Tiger in Bury on Sunday.
Police said they went on to another bar before they got into a taxi from Kay Gardens sometime after 04:00 BST.
The taxi dropped the woman off in the Radcliffe area, but the man followed her out of the car and attacked her, police said.
The man was disturbed by a second passing taxi and ran off.
The taxi driver stopped to help the woman, driving her to a police station where she reported the incident.
The offender is described as being in his late 20s, with olive skin and short black hair that was spiky on top.
He had very dark eyes and a long straight nose. He told the victim he was from Greece and Cyprus.
Police are appealing to anyone with information about the attack to come forward and are particularly keen to speak to the first taxi driver.
