Cabbie Beaten Unconscious In Row Over Vomit In His Cab

Police are attempting to identify two witnesses after a taxi driver was beaten unconscious in a row over a passenger throwing up in his cab.



The black cab driver picked up two passengers at 2.20am on Monday 26th January at Brompton Square and took them to Lower Addison Gardens.

But when the couple got out, the driver noticed the woman had been sick in the back of his cab and asked the man to clear up the mess or pay £45 cleaning bill.

The next thing that the driver remembers is regaining consciousness while covered in blood. He had nmultiple fractures around his eye socket.
Detective Constable Simon Jewell, from Kensington and Chelsea CID, said: "The victim's injuries are consistent with having been repeatedly kicked or punched in the head. This would appear to be a vicious attack on a 62-year-old man who has only recently been able to return to work.

"We have released a photo of the cab driver in hospital taken from a Body Worn Camera in the hope that this will encourage people to come forward with information to help the investigation.

"We are appealing for anyone who can help us to identify the couple, a white man and woman in their early 20s, who caught the cab in the early hours on Monday, 26 January from the vicinity of Brompton Square to Lower Addison Gardens.

"We'd particularly like to speak to the residents of Lower Addison Gardens and Addison Gardens who may have heard noise at approximately 02:30 hrs on Monday, 26 January or may even have witnessed the assault."

Agreed. It was bad enough that the woman was sick.

Y'all don't have cameras in your cabs? This was Kensington.
