A FATHER-OF-THREE who hijacked a taxi and led gardai on a high-speed chase, during which one officer was knocked down and injured, will be sentenced in December. The men ordered the taxi driver out of the car and threatened to stab him. When the driver got out of the taxi, Ward followed him and began slashing at him with the knife again, nicking one of his fingers. Gda Connolly said the taxi rammed two garda cars at Mellowes Crescent, Finglas, before striking a garda.
