A 22-year-old taxi driver ended up with a fractured right arm and several bruises after five men, who boarded his taxi from Dadar station, waylaid him near Kalwa and escaped with his brand new Maruti Eeco.

The driver, Barkat Ali Mehmood Khan, a resident of Wadala, saved himself from further injury by protecting his head and face with his hands, when the robbers tried to hit him with a stone. The police has sent out a statewide lookout to arrest the culprits.
