A woman was arrested after allegedly ordering a taxi driver at knifepoint to snap two mobile phones in half.
Security camera footage from the vehicle shows her swearing at the driver from the back seat.
She then drew a knife and held it to his neck, forcing him to stop the car and raise his hands as he tried to calm the situation.

The suspect continued shouting and threatening the driver, leaving the man terrified – but remarkably, he kept his cool.
The incident unfolded in Łódź, Poland, on Monday evening (26 January) and involved a driver working for a popular ride-hailing app.
According to local police, the 32-year-old passenger began arguing with the driver during the journey.
When he asked her to leave the car, she pulled the knife and demanded he continue driving to her destination.
At one point, she bizarrely ordered him to break two mobile phones in half while holding the blade close to his throat.
“Break the fcking phone in front of me! Break it, fck!” she shouted, seemingly convinced he had called the police.
She also claimed during the attack that she was pregnant.
Police said the driver’s extraordinary calm likely saved him, as reported by Need To Know.
He managed to flee the vehicle and call authorities while the woman was briefly distracted.
The suspect was arrested the following morning.
Łódź Police said in a statement: “She now faces a potential sentence of up to 20 years in prison for the crime.
“The investigation is being conducted under the supervision of the Łódź-Widzew District Prosecutor’s Office.”
