Night out, got taxi home, he wouldn't let me go into my house to get money, i felt a little threatened by the way he was speaking, he also wanted me to leave my phone with him whilst i got the money out of my house (wouldn't except me leaving anything else, i refused to do this for obvious reasons, so he started to drive me back to town, he was radio'ing other cabs at this point, so i decided the best policy was to run at the next lights, he caught me, other cabs turned up. I get some bruises and he gets a barred iphone 4, which he can use as a paper weight. Pretty much covers it, reported to the police, etc.
No doubt if they ever caught up with him he'd say the complete opposite and say he felt threatened and i was refusing to pay, etc. Moral of the story is don't get in private hire cabs that you haven't ordered.
