This is the terrifying moment a taxi driver in Marbella was attacked by a passenger wielding a knife.

Dashcam footage shared on Instagram shows the driver pulling up to the destination as a man in the back seat creeps closer behind him.

The man is then seen placing a small knife to the driver’s throat while mumbling something under his breath.

The taxi driver quickly grabs the passenger’s hand and the pair begin to grapple for the bladed weapon.

While trying to get control of the knife, the driver undoes his seatbelt and after a minute or so is able to open his door and flee.

The passenger then bashes the car’s radio equipment before opening his door and fleeing the scene.

The incident took place shortly before 5am in Marbella on July 7.
