Police are appealing for information after a taxi driver was robbed at knifepoint today.
Just before 2am (Wednesday 10 June 2015), a 47-year-old female taxi driver was called to Baratta Street, North Albury.
On arrival, the driver got out of her taxi and two males approached her. One of the men pulled out a knife and threatened the driver.
A short scuffle took place and the woman got back into her taxi and attempted to close the window.
The man with the knife reached in and grabbed the ignition key, breaking it in the process.
Once the window was closed, the man hit the window several times with the knife before running away.
The two males were last seen running south along Wantigong Street. The woman received a minor laceration to her right hand in the scuffle.
Police from Albury Local Area Command were notified of the incident and patrolled the area for the two males but were unable to locate them.
Detectives are investigating the incident, and would like to speak with two men who may be able to assist them with their inquiries.
The first male is described as being of Aboriginal / Torres Strait Islander in appearance, aged about 15 to 16, about 157-160cm tall, with a thin build and a narrow face. He was last seen wearing a white hooded jumper with dark print and a beanie underneath the hood.
