http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/teesside-news/our-worst-incident-taxi-driver-13928914A taxi driver needed hospital treatment after a rock thrown at his vehicle left him covered in glass - and his terrified pensioner passenger cowering in the back seat.
Royal Cars cabbie Reny Varghese was driving a silver Skoda Octavia in Sandringham Road, Park End, Middlesbrough , on Friday night when a large rock was thrown at the car, breaking the driver’s side window and showering him in glass.
Reny, who has only been a taxi driver for four months, was taking an elderly lady from Glastonbury House, North Ormesby , to Park End.
When the rock slammed through the window, he made an emergency stop, causing his chest to slam into the steering wheel and leaving him needing hospital treatment.
Despite still being in pain from severe bruising, the 51-year-old dad-of-two returned to work today.
But the former self-employed shopkeeper admits he’s been left shaken up by Friday’s attack, described by Royal Cars as the worst yet on one of its 400-strong fleet.
