Prince Albert cab drivers worried after three attacks in one month
Cab drivers in Prince Albert are looking to make their work safer while still providing good service to customers in the wake of three assaults on drivers in the last month.
Pardeep Saggar of Checker/Family Taxi, said while the three drivers have physically recovered, one of the drivers required emergency surgery for a punctured lung.
“In the first one, they asked for the money,” Saggar explained. “The driver kind of argued a bit and then they stabbed him on the left side of the heart, under the arm,” he said.
The driver was rushed to Saskatoon for surgery as the knife had punctured his diaphragm and was only millimeters from one of his lungs.
