(Ottawa)—The Ottawa Police Service has charged two people following a serious assault on a UBER taxi driver.

On June 8, 2015, two males and a female got into a UBER taxi outside a downtown nightclub at Bank and Slater Streets. A few blocks away from that area, the persons in the taxicab became physically aggressive with the taxi driver, who eventually abandoned his taxi at the corner of Elgin and Lisgar Streets.

  1. The crimes here in Ottawa is unbelievable and I heard about this case on the car radio. A few evenings ago I saw and heard ambulances, and cops racing down on a main thorough fare here in Ottawa and I knew where they were headed – Heron Gate area and other low income housing. Two cop cars put themselves across from where I live. All had to do with this case. My son told me yesterday that some people were shot in their car and I figure it to be a drug deal gone bad since that is all we hear around Ottawa. Ottawa was never like what you see today with all the crime – guns and drugs being brought in from the US. Toronto has become like the US. I will have to go on Ottawa’s papers now to see if there is anything. I rarely ever go there and now I will give it a peek.
