Well this is certainly an odd one. Well, not the attempted robbery as such, but that the arrest made on the basis of a third-party complaint, but the driver's identity is unknown.
Presumably I'd guess he just doesn't want the hassle
Which probably isn't that odd either - drivers who are victims of crime but don't report it. The odd bit is that someone else did

We are appealing for witnesses and the victim of an attempted robbery in Great Holm to come forward.
We received a third-party report that a teenage boy had threatened a driver, believed to be of a taxi, with a screwdriver with the intention to rob them on Kensington Drive approximately sometime between 4.10pm and 5.10pm on Saturday 18 October.
A 16-year-old boy from Milton Keynes has been arrested on suspicion of attempted robbery. He has been released on police bail until 7 January.
We are trying to identify the victim to ensure they have come to no harm and wish to speak to any witnesses or anyone with information.
Anyone with a dashcam who was driving in the area at the time, or anyone with cameras in the area, should check their recordings in case they have captured anything that could help our investigation.
