Two men are due to appear in court in Cork this morning in connection with the robbery of a taxi driver in the city earlier this week.

The taxi driver had collected a fare in Ballincollig and was bringing the 2 male passengers to the northside of the city when one of them put a knife to the driver's throat.

The 2 made off on foot with around €150 in cash.

The driver - who is in his late 40s - suffered a minor injury to his throat and was also badly shaken by the ordeal.

Two men will be charged in connection with the incident at Cork District Court this morning.
