The driver, a man in his 50s, suffered a severe cut to his scalp and needed stitches following the vicious assault near Deanside at around 1.35am on Sunday, August 19.

Detective Sergeant Mark Butterworth, who is investigating the incident said: “This was a violent assault on an innocent man who was just doing his job, taking people from A to B.

“We are keen to speak with anyone who may have seen three women and one man getting out of a taxi, or saw anything around the time the incident took place.
