Taxi driver assaulted by his passengers

A taxi driver from Watford was seriously assaulted by his passengers after
he dropped them off in Hemel Hempstead.

The 44 year old, who was threatened with a knife, suffered serious injuries
to his jaw and an ear in the attack.

It happened on Rayburn Road in Gadebridge in the early hours of Tuesday
morning (March 25).

He was taken to Hemel Hempstead Hospital but has since been released.

The driver picked up his two passengers just before midnight on Shady
Lane in Watford, and arrived in Hemel Hempstead at 00.08.

After the attack the two men made off in a light coloured Ford Escort van.

The police are appealing for anybody who witnessed the assault, or
anyone who may have seen the van parked on Rayburn Road on Monday.
