Thames Valley Police is appealing for witnesses after a taxi driver was robbed in Milton Keynes.

The incident occurred between 5am and 5.30am on Friday 11 September at the end of Stonecrop Place, Conniburrow, near to The Redway.

The victim was robbed by a man who placed him into a headlock and pushed an unknown weapon into the back of his neck.
