FIVE men are to appear at Uxbridge Magistrates Court this morning charged with attempted murder and attempted robbery.

The group, who are understood to be in their teens or early 20s, were charged in relation to an attack on a 39-year-old cab driver in Ruislip at the weekend.

Four of the accused are from Ruislip and the other is from Harrow.

Police have stated that earlier reports that the victim had been stabbed were incorrect.

More soon.
