Northamptonshire police stated that once the cab set off, the woman felt uneasy over the driver’s behaviour and asked him to return them to the station so they could get another taxi. 

The male driver became angry, stopped the vehicle in Northampton Lane, Moulton, and pulled the 12-year-old by her arm from the vehicle before throwing her on the ground, said the police.

The girl's mother and sibling then got out after which the driver left the scene.

The taxi driver is described as “5ft 3 inches, lean-built Asian man in his late 50s, with receding black hair and black moustache, both greying”.
