Teen thugs repeatedly stabbed taxi driver and left him to die on street over £6 fare

A taxi driver was attacked by two teenage passengers who left him bleeding out in a pool of his own blood in the street after they repeatedly stabbed him over a £6 taxi fare. The victim was noticed by a man living nearby who applied pressure to the wound to prevent blood loss and then contacted the emergency services who sent out the paramedics and doctors that managed to save the 58-year-old's life, Wales Online reports.

One of the attackers went on to brag to his friends and family about how he had stabbed the cabbie of 25 years and even uploaded a shocking clip of himself rapping about it onto his Instagram account. The terrified driver said that he believed he was going to die after one of his stab wounds severed a major artery and he lost a significant amount of blood as he lay in the street waiting for an ambulance to arrive.

The two 18-year old thugs have been locked up behind bars after a judge said that the brutal attack would have been one of the most terrifying incidents to have happened on the streets of Swansea. Megan Jones, prosecuting, told Swansea Crown Court said said at half-past-midnight on June 29 this year a Yellow Cabs taxi collected Kyle Parsons and Ludvik Rac from the firm's office opposite Swansea's High street railway station.
