Two people have been arrested over an attack on a taxi driver who was sprayed in the eyes and blinded temporarily.
The attack happened in Milton Keynes on Sunday and the pair have been released on bail pending further inquiries.
Three men met the taxi in Gloucester Road, Wolverton, and attacked the driver, a police spokesman said.
One of them sprayed a substance in his eyes causing burning. The driver's car keys and £15 were stolen. Police are warning drivers to be careful.
Police said officers believe this attack is linked to a similar incident in the Bradwell Abbey on 3 August when a taxi driver was also sprayed in the eyes but managed to drive off.
Det Con Wendy Fellowes said: "We would urge taxi companies in Milton Keynes not to take bookings from withheld numbers unless they are established customers and ensure they get a full name.
"Two people have been arrested in connection with the attacks and they are currently on police bail while we carry out further inquiries."
