Witness appeal after taxi driver robbedA TAXI driver was robbed of his takings by a customer after he dropped six men off in Oxford.
The 43-year-old was threatened by one of his passengers whilst another man sat in the back of his eight-seater cab.
The driver picked up the fare from the main Oxford Brookes University campus in Headington, before taking them to Hollow Way at 1.25am When four of the men got out of the taxi and walked off, one of the passengers stayed in the back seat while the sixth walked around to the driver’s window and demanded money from him, before threatening him with a bottle.
The driver handed over about £20 in cash before driving off as the men fled into a nearby park.

The robber who threatened the taxi driver is described as a white man, in his mid 20s, about 6ft tall and of a skinny build.
He was wearing a dark grey hooded top with the hood up over his head.
