TWO OLDHAM MEN CHARGED AFTER ROYTON CABBIE ROBBERY

CABBIE INJURED IN BRISTOL KNIFE AND BASEBALL BAT INCIDENT AS TEENAGER ARRESTED
A cabbie was injured during an incident involving knifes and baseball bats on a Bristol street. Locals in Brislington reported a huge 999 response had swooped down to West Town Lane with a road closure set up as a result. Eyewitnesses told BristolLive they had seen “armed officers” at the scene with the police helicopter also spotted hovering around the area. Avon and Somerset Police said officers came across the incident at about 9.15pm on 21 May after they found an injured man on West Town Lane. A statement from the force said the victim, a man in his 50s, was a
64
taxi driver who had dropped a number of youths off near to Choke Walk. Police said this was followed by an altercation between the group and another person which led to a car and building being damaged. The other person, described by the
force as “a male”, is then said to have pursued the group back to the taxi carrying a knife. This then led to the driver sustaining an injury. Officers on patrol found the injured man at about 9.15pm and paramedics were called. The driver was taken to hospital with injuries that are not believed to be life- threatening. Officers were told the youths left the scene reportedly with weapons including baseball bats. This sparked a search of the area before a 17-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of wounding with intent causing grievous bodily harm.
