But there are no charges, and no named suspect in the case of the taxi-man who was stabbed up on Thursday night.
We first told you about the story on Friday. Late on Thursday night, 51 year old Rockson Odiete was attacked and stabbed by a passenger.
Police told us more:..
ASP Alejandro Cowo- OC, CIB
"Mr. Odiete was Freetown when he was stopped by a male person who asked him to carry him to Kelly Street and other surrounding areas within that area. However, the person did not give him an exact address and after Mr. Odiete passed by Kelly Street and Hunter's Lane and other areas within that area, he drove to his address by Gentle Avenue and whilst they were there, the male person who was seated behind him just stabbed him several times to the chest. He managed to run out 
of the vehicle and he fell to the pavement. After he fell on the pavement, the person came and pat his pockets. However, nothing was stolen from him. Mr. Odiete mentioned that he was not able to see the person. However, police have been viewing several footages in that area and it may assist later on with the investigation."
Police say they do not know if the passenger had underworld connections.
