Dundee taxi driver says he could have been killed in attack on cab

A taxi driver claims he could have been killed after a rock was thrown at his cab.

James Burke said a second rock also smashed the rear passenger window just minutes after he had dropped off a fare.

Police are investigating the incident, which happened at 9.30pm on Wednesday as he was driving along Pitkerro Road, as well as another incident on North Erskine Street.

A police spokeswoman said: “Those who get involved in this reckless behaviour may view it as a bit of harmless fun, but they should consider the potential consequences of their actions.

“Fortunately no one has been injured, but the outcome could have been far worse.”
