A burqa-clad woman on Tuesday attacked a 35-year-old cab driver with a sharp-edged weapon, just a few metres away from the traffic police booth in the Civil Lines area of Gurugram.

The incident took place when the woman, a foreign national, stopped a cab in the Civil Lines area and suddenly attacked the cab driver.

However, the woman, who is yet to be identified, was overpowered by people and handed over to the police.
