A TAXI driver was attacked by a boy while in his car.

The youth approached the vehicle in Saltdean Park Road, Saltdean, last Wednesday.

He punched the 36-year-old man in the face, causing a nosebleed.

Nothing was stolen.

The boy aged around 16, is 5ft 9in, of medium build and with black hair. He was wearing a black hoody, dark jogging bottoms, and white trainers.

PC Tom Bowen said: “The victim was subjected to a totally unprovoked attack by someone unknown to him. There were people in the area at the time and we hope someone saw the assault take place.”
