Police have charged two people with the aggravated armed robbery of a Launceston taxi driver last week.
Detectives from Launceston CIB arrested and charged a 14-year-old boy from Rocherlea last Friday, while a 20-year-old man from Invermay was arrested today and remains in custody awaiting a court appearance.
Both males have been charged with aggravated armed robbery over the same incident at Rocherlea, about 4.55am on August 8.
Police allege a male taxi driver was assaulted by the two accused, with the driver receiving non-life-threatening stab wounds.
Emergency services responded promptly to the incident and the victim received medical treatment for his injuries.
Police arrested the 14-year-old later on Friday, about 3.15pm, with ongoing inquiries resulting in the arrest today of a second person.
