Two violent thugs were filmed robbing a screaming taxi driver at night.
The dash-cam clip shows the cabbie asking one suspect if he wants to use his taxi service and the young man says “yes”.
He gets in the back seat and immediately grabs the middle-aged man while apparently threatening him with a gun.

The cabbie panics and steps on the gas as the thief places him in a chokehold and starts to pilfer his cash.
The screaming driver says “everything’s okay, don’t do anything to me” and tells him to take his money.
Blood apparently runs from the victim’s right eye as he says: “I can’t see anything, you cut me, I can’t see.”
The suspect hops out of the taxi and flees the scene on foot with an accomplice who also reportedly stole items off-camera.
The scary scenes were filmed in the Colombian capital Bogotá at around 10.50pm on 17 November.
The victim said after his ordeal: “Two guys asked for a taxi in the area of Santa Lucía, they told me they wanted to go to San Jorge.
“When I arrived, they asked me to go around the block several times and that’s when the guy got in the back and pulled out a gun.
“He grabbed my neck and the other man, who had a knife, started to take things from the car.
According to the Bogotá Metropolitan Police, one of the suspects was arrested shortly after the robbery.
The 24-year-old was found in possession of a gun, a mobile phone, a walkie talkie, and £29 (COP 160,000) in cash that he allegedly stole from the taxi driver.
The suspect has a criminal record for aggravated theft, as reported by Need To Know.
His accomplice currently remains on the run as the investigation continues.
