Winnipeg police have charged a taxi driver after a woman says she was attacked and dragged by a vehicle before escaping. Serenity Morrisseau says a Unicity Taxi driver assaulted her and locked her inside the cab in the early hours of Sunday, Sept. 26. Winnipeg police announced Wednesday that they have charged the driver, a 44-year-old man from Winnipeg, with assault and forcible confinement. A spokesperson for Unicity Taxi declined the CBC's request for comment, stating the matter is before the courts. Last Wednesday, at least 100 people gathered for a protest in front of Unicity Taxi headquarters on Hargrave Street.
