A widely shared video showing a woman jumping on top of a taxi cab and smashing through its front windshield has raised concerns for taxi drivers in Winnipeg who say violent incidents are becoming all too common for drivers in the city.
A Winnipeg man who fatally stabbed a taxi driver 17 times in his cab in the North End will spend at least 12 years behind bars before he is eligible parole.
A Manitoba Court of King's Bench justice ruled Friday on the period of parole ineligibility for a man who lives with bipolar disorder and an intellectual disability. Okoth Obeing, 23, was previously found guilty of second-degree murder in the March 2020 stabbing death of taxi driver Balvir Toor.
