Preston taxi drivers say they are continuing to be targeted by youths throwing objects at their vehicles.

In a recent incident, a stone smashed through the back window of an Ashton Allied people carrier in Ribbleton while passengers were inside.

Ex-taxi driver and Ashton Allied manager Khalid Nakhuda said: “It happened on Monday 22 February in Miller Road near Preston Glades Care Home.

“The driver said the stone was thrown by young kids aged about 12 years old. Thank God no one was hurt.”

Khalid spoke to Blog Preston about the attacks in November, saying he feared a driver would be seriously injured or even killed if the issue wasn’t addressed.

Speaking this week, he said: “Nothing has changed. I have at least ten log numbers from incidents like this in the last three weeks alone.

“Something needs to be done before someone is seriously hurt.”
