Good job women aren't as violent as men, eh? :roll:


Wellingborough taxi driver assaulted by man after crash outside chip shop

https://www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/ne ... op-3499249

Police have launched an investigation

A Wellingborough chip shop customer assaulted a taxi driver who was involved a crash with another car outside.

Police have launched an investigation after the shocking incident on Monday afternoon (December 13) in Gold Street.

A taxi was involved in a crash with a grey Nissan Juke, which was parked outside the Gold Street Fish Bar, between 1.30pm and 2.30pm.

Police said a woman got out of the Nissan and went into the fish bar to get a man, who pushed the taxi driver and punched him to the side of the head and face, causing him to fall backwards.

A police spokesman said: "The offender was a white man, 5ft 9in with dark hair.

"He was wearing a dark-coloured v-neck style T-shirt, dark-coloured trousers, a dark/grey waist length jacket and black trainers.

"The woman was black and was wearing sunglasses and a long grey jacket.

"She had a dark-coloured bag over her shoulder.

"Officers would like to speak to anyone who may have witnessed this collision between the taxi – which was a blue VW people carrier – and the Nissan Juke, or who may have witnessed the assault.

"Anyone with information is asked to call Northamptonshire Police on 101 or alternatively call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111."

Not sure this should be too hard for the police to solve.

Suggest they go to the house of the lady in the car and question her other half.

I'm assuming the taxi/PH driver got the reg after the accident.

Yes, maybe they have identified them and are just using the descriptions in the hope of finding witnesses.

Or maybe the driver didn't get the registration number and they're using the descriptions because they haven't yet identified them.

But it's not entirely clear from the appeal which one of the above it is :?

But, with regard to your earlier point, I was assuming that if they'd identified one, they'd have identified both :wink:
