The taxi driver told officers that two people from an apartment building had called for a cab. He said they got into his vehicle and asked to be driven to Saskatoon.
Police said the driver asked for money upfront, as it is company policy for long distance fares.
One of the fares who was sitting in the front passenger seat is then alleged to have threatened the taxi driver with a knife. The driver fled the taxi and called police.
