TWO taxi drivers were victims of terrifying robberies just hours apart.
Now police are looking at possible links between the attacks in Fixby and Deighton last night.
The first happened on Woodside Lane in Fixby at 5.10pm when a 35-year-old driver went to pick up a fare.
A teenager got into the passenger seat while two accomplices waited outside and hit the driver in the face with a metallic tool, leaving a small cut under his left eye.
The driver got out of the car and ran to a nearby house to raise the alarm while the thieves fled with his mobile phone. The main attacker is white, aged 15 to 18 and wore a dark hooded top.
The second robbery happened at 9.30pm on Cherry Nook Road in Deighton when a 47-year-old driver stopped to pick up a fare.
He saw three youths approaching and locked all the doors, but one smashed the driver's window and a gun was pointed at him.
The driver bravely grappled with the gunman and cut his wrists on the broken glass. The thieves ran off after stealing cash and a mobile phone. All three are white or light-skinned African-Caribbean youths in their mid-teens who wore dark hooded tops and trousers.
