A Melton man has been charged with kidnapping and attempted armed robbery after he threatened a taxi driver with a knife on Monday morning.
Police were told the driver picked up a male passenger on Church Street at about 6.30am on May 9.
The 22-year-old man allegedly then produced a knife and threatened the driver.
The man got out of the taxi in Oaktree Drive and the driver called the police.
Police arrested him shortly after and seized the knife.
The man will appear at Melbourne Magistrates Court today.
