Avon and Somerset Police are appealing for information to trace a taxi driver in Bath who drove off with a passenger on his bonnet clinging to his windscreen wipers back in December.

It happened just after 3am on Sunday 14th December in James Street West.

The man says he was queue-jumped by two others who took the taxi meant for him – so he stood in front of the car in protest.

It then drove off, with him on the bonnet for several hundred yards before he fell off onto the road.

He suffered a bruised hip from the incident.

The vehicle involved is believed to be a Mercedes or a Toyota.

Police believe there were a number of people in the taxi queue who saw what happened.

Officers would also like to talk to the two men who drove off in the taxi.

Anyone with information is asked to call us on 101 quoting reference number 130089/14.
