A TAXI driver had his nose broken during a terrifying ordeal in which he was beaten up, robbed, kidnapped and car-jacked by a drunken passenger in NSW's Hunter region.
The cabbie picked up a man in Kurri Kurri on Saturday morning and was asked to drive to Newcastle.
Police say that on the way, the passenger asked to be driven to a caravan park in Maitland to collect money for the fare.
Once at the caravan park, the driver and passenger went inside a cabin where it's alleged the passenger pulled out a knife, kicked the taxi driver in the head and took his wallet.
The passenger then allegedly forced the taxi driver into the passenger seat, cut the wires to the taxi meter, radio and CCTV system; and started speeding north on the Pacific Highway.
Police used road spikes to stop the taxi after detecting it travelling at 185km/h on the Pacific Highway at Moorland.
A 28-year-old man was arrested and taken to Taree Police Station, where a breath-analysis test returned an reading of 0.106.
He is still being questioned and is expected to be charged later on Saturday.
The taxi driver was taken to Manning Base Hospital suffering swelling, abrasions and bleeding to his face, and a broken nose.
