Terrifying video shows an innocent London taxi driver being caught up in a brutal knife fight as masked machete-wielding attackers try to stab one of his passengers.
Footage has been shared on social media of the disturbing incident on Spencer Road in Rainham at 5.10am on June 23.
At the start of the footage, the taxi driver is seen waving goodbye to three jolly-looking men who had been riding in his cab before saying, ‘I’m going home now’.
Seconds after the trio leave the cab, a Mercedes pulls up behind and at least three men jump out.
A scuffle breaks out as the taxi driver begins to slowly reverse away. After about 10 seconds, one of the men who was previously in the cab – wearing a light blue t-shirt and a beanie – suddenly pulls open the rear left door and jumps inside.
Do YOU know the taxi driver? …
