  "textContent": "\n\n\nA black cab driver has been hailed as a hero after intervening to protect a woman from two strangers who attempted to trick him into believing they knew her, refusing to let her leave his vehicle and insisting on taking her home safely.\n\nAmy Jones, 27, says the cabbie's quick thinking potentially saved her from a terrifying situation after the men tried to coax her into an unknown property\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe driver had grown suspicious when the two men, who had flagged down his cab, claimed to be helping Ms Jones.\n\nThey then gave an address that was not hers and dismissed her visibly distressed state as simply being drunk.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nMs Jones told Liverpool Echo: \"The taxi driver refused to let me go inside and demanded to take me home.\n\n\"I have no idea what would have happened if I'd gone inside that house.\"\n\nShe is now desperately searching for the driver who came to her rescue, hoping he can fill in the gaps of that frightening night.\n\nThe only detail she can recall about the vehicle is seeing \"cab 66\" displayed somewhere, though she remains uncertain what this reference means.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nShe added: \"I don't know how to find him,.\n\n\"If it wasn't for that taxi driver I don't know what might have happened, I want to find him so I can ask him details of that night.\"\n\nThe Liverpool John Moores University student was able to charge her phone in the taxi after discovering it was past 4am.\n\nIt also left a significant period of time unaccounted for since she had called her friend at approximately 2.45am.\n\nThe ordeal began on Saturday, March 14, when Ms Jones visited Superstar Boudoir nightclub on Stanley Street in Liverpool city centre.\n\n### LATEST DEVELOPMENTS\n\n\n\n\n  * RNLI rescue missions DOUBLED in 2025 as lifeguards ramp up heroic efforts\n  * Hero neighbour saved schoolboy from blaze that ripped through his home\n  * British engineers to help Nasa track Artemis II as astronauts prepare to blast off on deep space Moon mission\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nAfter becoming separated from her group inside the venue, she decided to head home alone and stopped at a takeaway on Dale Street to purchase a kebab.\n\nIt was inside the food establishment that her condition rapidly deteriorated.\n\n\"I started to feel strange,\" she recalled. \"I was paranoid I could hear people saying my name. I remember saying in the kebab shop 'I think I've been spiked, can you help me.'\"\n\nHer eyesight failed, nausea set in, and she sensed something was seriously wrong, leading her to believe her drink had been tampered with earlier that evening.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nDistressed and crying, Ms Jones attempted to walk home to Marybone when a man approached her on Dale Street, offering to help.\n\n\"I was scared, I told him to leave me alone but he told me he wanted to get me home and seemed genuine,\" she explained.\n\nThe stranger hailed a black cab and requested the driver take her home, but then climbed into the vehicle alongside another man.\n\nThe pair provided the cabbie with an address that was not Ms Jones's home.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nDuring the journey, which she recalls feeling lengthy despite her blurred vision, she overheard them discussing her intoxicated appearance. When the taxi stopped, both men attempted to persuade her to enter an unfamiliar property.\n\nMs Jones said: \"They got out when the taxi stopped and tried to get me to go inside a house with them. I had no idea where we were, the taxi driver refused to let me go inside and demanded to take me home. I have no idea what would have happened if I'd gone inside that house.\"\n\nA spokesman for Merseyside Police said: \"We can confirm that we received a report of an alleged spiking in the early hours of Sunday, March 15, although at this stage there is nothing to corroborate that any criminal offence has taken place.\"\n\n**_Are you the taxi driver or do you know who it was?_****_Get in touch with me at george.bunn@gbnews.uk._**\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
