Police are investigating after a taxi driver was assaulted and robbed in Campbelltown last night.
About 11.45pm (Tuesday, October 27), emergency services were called to Parkside Crescent, Park Central following reports of a robbery.
Initial investigations suggest that a taxi driven by a 60-year-old man was in nearby street for a booked call.
Unable to find anyone at the location, he left and saw two females in Parkside Crescent and asked them if they had called a taxi.
One female then got into the front and the other into the back seat.
When the driver asked where they wanted to go, several males approached the car.
One male removed the keys from the ignition and demanded the driver’s wallet and mobile phone before assaulting him.
The driver handed over his wallet to one of the males before they all ran off into a nearby reserve.
No weapons were seen or used during the incident.
Police from Campbelltown Local Area Command were contacted and arrived a short time later.
A search of the area was conducted, however no-one was found.
The man was treated by at the scene by NSW Ambulance Paramedics before being conveyed to Campbelltown Hospital for non-life threatening facial injuries.
Investigations into the incident are continuing and police are hoping to speak with two females and a male who may be able to assist with inquiries.
One female is described as being of Caucasian appearance, aged in her early 20s with shoulder-length curly blonde hair. She was last seen wearing a white jacket and cap.
