Cabbie in knife terror

A TAXI driver suffered cut hands after being robbed at knifepoint on New Year’s Day.

The cabbie, who works for Delta Taxis, picked up a fare in Ripponden Road, Sholver, at 5.30am.

Four men in their mid-20s had him drive a short distance then threatened him and stole £50, a mobile phone and a sat-nav unit.

One of the men had a knife and the cabbie was cut as he defended himself.

Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800-555 111.
