Police have released CCTV images of two men they wish to speak to after a taxi driver was threatened with a knife.

Nottinghamshire Police said officers were called to Glasshouse Street, in Nottingham, at about 10:40 GMT on 9 December following an altercation between the driver and two passengers.

They had argued about payment of the fare before one of the men produced a knife and made threats to the victim, the force added.

On Sunday, officers released two photographs of two men they would like to identify.
