A taxi driver was stabbed three times during an attempted robbery on Thursday (February 21).
The attack took place at around 2am after the 41-year-old victim picked up a passenger from Woodcock Road.
When the passenger asked the driver to pull over and pick up his friend, a second man armed with a knife opened the driver’s door and demanded money.
He stabbed the driver three times to his upper right arm but the victim managed to push him away and close the door.
The two offenders then fled towards Priestleys empty-handed.
Both were described as black males of slim build wearing hooded tops.
