Taxi driver critically injured in Brierley Hill
A taxi driver found collapsed in Brierley Hill with serious head injuries is now in a critical condition in hospital.
The 60-year-old man, who has not been named at this stage, was found badly hurt in Bell Street South, following the incident just before 9.30pm on Sunday.
Residents became concerned when they noticed police had cordoned off the area early on Monday morning and a blue forensic tent was put up near the junction with High Street.
Shaz Saleem, chairman of Dudley Private Hire and Taxi Association, said: "For something like this to happen is shocking. All of our drivers are DBS checked, but our passengers aren't, which is a scary thought. We have no idea who we are picking up or what they could potentially do."
Anyone with information should call force CID on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
