The driver was waiting to pick up a fare on Linney Road when he was approached by a man who demanded money, just after midnight in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Immediately after demanding money, the man lunged at the taxi driver with a knife and stabbed him in the abdomen.
The offender then fled the scene as the taxi driver crawled to safety at a nearby property.
He was taken to hospital where he remains in a stable condition.
A few hours later, officers arrested a 19-year-old man on suspicion of robbery at an address in Davenport.
He remains in custody for questioning.
Detective Chief Inspector Chris Downey, of GMP’s Stockport Borough, said: “This was a seemingly random attack on a man as he was simply trying to do his job.
“Thankfully he managed to crawl to safety and is now receiving treatment in hospital but this could have been much worse.
“We currently have a man in custody, arrested on suspicion of robbery, and he will be questioned by detectives later today.”
