Man injured in Knaresborough taxi assault
A man suffered facial injuries during an early morning assault by a suspected taxi driver in Knaresborough.
North Yorkshire Police said in a statement today the incident happened on Halfpenny Lane at about 4.35am on Sunday (August 3).
The statement added:
A man had got into what he believed was a taxi before an altercation with the driver. The man who got in the car was treated in hospital for facial injuries.
He is unsure whether he got into a licensed taxi or a car purporting to be a taxi and we are trying to establish the full circumstances as part of our investigation.
We’re particularly appealing for information about anything that was seen or heard within the area at the time of the offence.
Officers urged any witnesses, or people with CCTV or ring doorbell footage to call 101 and ask for PC 849, or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or via its website.
