The Applicant was injured in an incident that occurred in October 2000. He was a taxi driver. A passenger who said that he was going into his house to get the money to pay the fare returned to the taxi and instead pushed a 12” bread knife through the open driver’s-side window. The applicant was able to grasp the knife with his left hand to protect himself. The assailant then pulled the knife back, causing a laceration to the left hand, which required six or seven stitches. The Applicant applied for compensation in December 2000.Full report here.
