Ukraine born Portadown man uses black taxi to rescue refugees fleeing war

A Ukranian born Portadown man is helping refugees fleeing the war - by driving them to safety in a black taxi.

Roman Tymchyshyn, 31, has already transported around 80 people across the Polish border including pregnant women, disabled elderly people, children and even a nine-month-old baby.

He began driving refugees in his black cab across the border with Ukraine on February 28, and has since racked up around 2,169 miles - which is around 300 miles a day.
