Hamilton Police are hoping newly installed cameras will help identify those responsible for a "cowardly" attack on a taxi driver.
Inspector Karen Henrikson said the taxi driver was called to a job on Sunnyhills Ave in Glenview about 12.30am on Saturday 17 September.
"Two men got into the taxi
van and asked to be taken into town but said they had no money," Ms Henrickson said.
"Our victim told them if they didn't have the means to pay for the fare he couldn't take them into the CBD, suddenly one of the men started assaulting the driver, punching him in the head and shoulders."
Ms Henrikson said the second man also attacked the driver before both men got out of the taxi and fled.
