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.
