A man and a woman are in custody after allegedly assaulting a cab driver, stealing his taxi and then crashing it into a lamppost near High Park, police said.
Toronto police were called about the incident around 2 a.m. The man allegedly hit the cab driver in the head before stealing his vehicle. The injuries did not appear to be serious, Const. David Hopkinson said.
