Man arrested after cabbie 'threatened pedestrians with an axe' in Liverpool city centre A taxi driver allegedly threatened pedestrians with an axe after they asked him to stop blowing his car horn repeatedly. Shocked witnesses called police after the drama at the rank in Dawson Street, off Whitechapel, near Williamson Square, Liverpool city centre, which happened at around 2.30pm on Saturday. The ECHO understands the driver, who was in a Hackney cab, was said to be carrying a small axe. He is thought to have driven away from the scene after the argument. Merseyside Police confirmed a 39-year-old man was arrested later that afternoon “following an incident in Liverpool city centre”. A police spokesman said: “Patrols were called to Dawson Street at about 2.30pm, following reports that a motorist had threatened a group of pedestrians after they asked him to stop repeatedly sounding his horn. Officers attended the scene and spoke to witnesses, none of whom were injured. “A short time later, a 39-year-old man voluntarily attended a police station and was arrested on suspicion of affray. “The man was questioned by officers and has been released on bail, pending further enquiries.” Dawson Street taxi rank, near Yates’s pub, is one of the busiest taxi ranks in the city. Liverpool Taxi Alliance, which offers free support to the city's licensed taxi cab and private hire drivers, said it was unable to comment on the matter while a criminal investigation was ongoing. Anyone with any information should call Merseyside Police on 101 number or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111. source: http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liv ... ed-7026200 |

The only thing missing from Liverpool hackneys is the lifting gear to raise the basket

Yeah the dreadful tunnel of doom, all two miles and a bit of it could easily whack a few bob on to your fare. £22.00 to go 3.4 miles was the last rip off price I was quoted and they're still wondering why punters ring Delta ffs
