London Taxi Viral Video: Man Stabbed By Machete-Wielding Thugs In Cab, Alert Driver Saves His Life

A terrifying, now-viral video showed the moment when machete-wielding thugs attacked a man in the back of a taxi before the innocent driver sped away.

The incident took place inside a London cab on Spencer Road in Rainham at around 5 am on June 23.

The video posted on X shows three men inside the taxi before the horrific attack began after 5 a.m. Moments after the passengers had left the taxi, one of them, wearing a cap, returned to the back seat. Seconds later, an attacker wearing a black hoodie and a red face mask smashed the rear window with a hammer. The sudden attack made the passenger jump, and he took out a knife to fight back. Moments later, another person began attacking from the other side of the car with a knife, forcing the man to fight for his life from both sides. At this point, the terrified driver started to speed away from the scene as the passenger began bleeding. "Drive fast, uncle," the man pleaded with the driver, throwing a wad of cash at him and promising to pay for the damage to his vehicle.
