Taxicab carjacking

A customer briefly stole the taxi he’d ridden in on Sunday evening, Police report. The cab driver and his customer got into an argument around 6:45 p.m. at 23rd and Mission streets, reportedly because the customer hadn’t paid his fare. When a passerby tried to intervene, the suspect punched him, and when the cab driver then got out of his vehicle to confront the suspect as well, the suspect punched the driver as well and then got into his cab and drove away.

The ride didn’t last long, however, because the suspect proceeded to crash the car and flee on foot, and was later taken into custody. The cab driver was not injured and was able to recover his car.
