A TAXI driver was allegedly assaulted, robbed and carjacked by three suspects, who boarded the taxi in Havana in Katutura, on Friday at about 20:00.
According to the Namibian police, the suspects told the taxi driver that they are going to Donkerhoek in Katutura.
However, once they arrived at the destination, the suspects allegedly grabbed the driver from behind and pushed him from the steering wheel. With a knife against the driver’s neck, the suspects ordered him to face down, while demanding money from him.
It is further alleged that the suspects searched the cab and took the victim’s wallet which contained N$600.
They then dragged the victim to the back of the vehicle and drove towards Brakwater, where they threw the victim out and drove off.
The taxi, which is worth N$70 000, is a blue Honda registered under the taxi number S650.
The police stated that no arrests have been made so far.
