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.
