A St. John’s man spent the night in jail following a dustup with a cab driver.
Police say the 24-year-old refused to pay his fare after arriving at his downtown destination on Duckworth Street.
It’s alleged he then assaulted the driver before leaving the scene.
Police tracked down the suspect and charged him with one count of assault and failure to pay his fare.
He was held at the lockup overnight pending a court appearance today.
