AN enraged cab driver tried to force a car full of teens off the road last night after they threw an egg at his taxi, with the cab driver also threatening the boys with a knife and a tire iron.

The five males, aged from 16 to 20, were enjoying a night out in Geelong, southwest of Melbourne, but got a lot more than they bargained for after the egg hit the taxi. Police believe the taxi driver pursued the boys and attempted to force their car off the road by crashing into them.

The boys efforts to escape the taxi driver came to a grinding halt when their car blew a tire after hitting a gutter.

Police believe the taxi driver then crashed into the side of the boys’ car and jumped out armed with a tire iron and a knife before angrily smashing every window of the car, including the tail lights.

The boys from the Geelong area received minor injuries in the attack.

The 17-year-old boy who threw the egg, received a caution from police for discharging a missile.

Victoria Police issued a statement this morning titled "Nobody wins" regarding the egg-throwing incident.



The taxi driver, a 41-year-old man from a town outside of Geelong handed himself into a local police station.



It is expected he will be charged with conduct endangering life, assaults, criminal damage and numerous traffic offenses.
