A woman threatened to stab an Uber driver with a dirty syringe - before telling a 'shocking and disgraceful pack of lies' about him owing her cash for sex. Louise Dean, 43, jumped into the man's stationary vehicle and made 'stabbing motions' at his neck with a needle, demanding he hand over his takings.
The driver managed to escape from the car, before Dean chased him. She then fled with his watch and £30 cash.
When arrested, she falsely claimed the man owed her money following a sexual encounter, which didn't happen. The taxi driver has since given up his job and is undergoing therapy for depression following Dean's lies.
