Cab driver held for stabbing another driver

Coimbatore: The Race Course police have formed two special teams to nab a call taxi driver, who stabbed another driver near the railway station on Thursday.
Police identified him as K Surya Prakash, 23, of Muthu Colony at Selvapuram. “His cab is attached to a stand in front of the railway station. Drivers at the railway station stand used to stop call taxi drivers from other places from picking up passengers at the station. On Thursday around 6.40am, when Prakash picked up a passenger, H Faizal, 45, of Thiruvalluvar Street at Kuniyamuthur, a driver attached to the railway station stand, stopped him. This triggered a verbal altercation, following which Prakash took a knife from his cab, stabbed Faizal, and fled the spot,” a police officer said.
Faizal was admitted to the Coimbatore Medical College and Hospital.TNN
