Detectives are appealing for witnesses after a private hire driver was threatened with a knife.
Police would like to speak to anyone who can assist with inquiries into the incident.
According to the Telegraph and Argus, it happened at around at 3.25am close to Fry Dayz on The Parade in Batley on Thursday, April 25.
It happened after a Toyota Prius PHV, which had been ordered to an address there, pulled up at the location.
Police said it was then entered by a male suspect who threatened the driver inside with a knife and then assaulted him.
The suspect then fled with cash and other items from the victim’s car, leaving the male driver uninjured but very shaken.
Detective Sergeant Andy Holmes of the Kirklees District Crime Team, said: “We are continuing a number of enquiries into this serious incident which was clearly a very frightening and distressing experience for the driver.
“I would like to speak to anyone who may have information which could assist the investigation or perhaps footage from home CCTV which captures what occurred.
“Anyone who can assist the investigation is asked to contact the Kirklees District Crime Team on 101 referencing police crime number 13240219932.
“Information can also be given online at www.westyorkshire.police.uk/livechat or anonymously to the independent Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111."
