CHILDREN LEFT TRAUMATISED AFTER BRICK SMASHES TAXI WINDOW IN MARDEN, KENT
A group of schoolchildren were left “traumatised” after a brick was thrown at their taxi, smashing a rear window and covering some of the students in glass. The incident occurred on Septem- ber 8, in Marden as the taxi was returning from the school run. Marissa McGowan’s 13-year-old son was in the taxi and had to be picked up by his mother.
She recounted the events, stating: “He had bits of glass all over him. He was sat in the seat next to the window that shattered.” She added that her son was left “traumatised and confused by it all.” While the taxi driver and parents reportedly called 101, Kent Police have stated that no formal reports of the incident are currently on their system.
MAN ACCUSED OF STABBING CABBIE IN LEYLAND MOVED TO MENTAL UNIT PENDING SENTENCE
A man charged with stabbing and robbing a taxi driver near Leyland has been transferred to a secure mental hospital pending a court decision on his sentence. Phillip Dookie, 45, of Preston, appeared before a judge in Preston via a video link from prison on September 2. He faces charges of robbery,
wounding, and
possessing a knife. Judge Andrew
Jefferies KC
adjourned the hearing until December, stating he needed more information from doctors regarding Dookie’s mental health.
PHTM OCTOBER 2025
Dookie was arrested after a taxi driver reported being attacked and robbed in Buckshaw Village in February. Two co-defendants - a man, 37, and a woman, 31 - were also apprehended. All three were charged with robbing the victim of £70 and a mobile phone. Dookie was also charged with Section 18 wounding with intent. During the hearing, Judge Jefferies expressed his discomfort with sentencing Dookie after hearing he was reportedly suffering from a “treatment resistant form of paranoid schizophrenia.”
Dookie had claimed he used the knife to protect his girlfriend from the driver.
The cabbie, who Dookie had made serious allegations about, had said his livelihood was now at stake because he was worried about going out to work at night. The judge explained to Dookie: “I don’t know
whether an
appropriate sentence is a hospital order, a hospital order with restrictions, or prison. So reports have to be done.” Dookie was remanded in custody to be sentenced on December 3.
