Police appeal after taxi driver is assaulted and robbed

Police are appealing for information following a robbery in the Allerton area of Bradford.

The incident, which involved two men, resulted in a taxi driver being assaulted and his takings stolen.

At about 1.40am on Saturday, January 11, a taxi driver picked up two men from a pub in Bell Dean Road and took them to a block of flats off Saffron Drive. On leaving the vehicle, one of the men then punched the driver and the other stole his takings of around £150.

The men, who were white and believed to be in their early 20s ran off towards Saffron Drive. Both men spoke with local accents.

One of the men is described as being of average to medium build and about 5ft 10ins tall. He was said to have a round face, big eyes and a pointed nose and was wearing a dark woolly hat, a blue hooded top and grey bottoms.

The other is described as being of skinny build and about 6ft tall. He was wearing a red hooded top, which also covered his face.

Anyone with information is asked to contact DC Jazz Gill at Bradford CID on 101.
