Southport killer's taxi driver 'waited 50 minutes' to call 999

Gary Poland, who picked Rudakubana up from his home in Banks, Lancashire, on July 29 last year, took nearly an hour to call 999 despite hearing children scream.

The taxi driver who drove Axel Rudakubana to the children's dance class where he carried out the Southport knife attack waited 50 minutes before calling the police, an inquiry has heard.

Gary Poland, who picked Rudakubana up from his home in Banks, Lancashire, took nearly an hour to call 999 despite hearing children scream and seeing them fleeing the massacre in his rearview mirror as he drove away.

When the taxi driver did eventually call 999, he was heard telling the operator: 'I heard screaming, proper screaming.'

Honestly, I think the poor man was in shock and probably needed to process what he saw, because why would you think that a random dude would go in and stab a load of children. It's unthinkable. I'm trying no to judge his actions.

The enquiry stated it made no difference to the police response as they were called straight away by the teacher.
