A man is facing charges after allegedly assaulting a cab driver before robbing him at knife point.
Windsor police responded to the 900 block of Wyandotte Street East around 9 pm Friday for a report of a robbery.
Police say officers spoke to a cab driver who said he went to the area for a pick-up. A man got inside his cab and requested to go to a location.
There was a brief conversation before the man allegedly assaulted the driver and threatened him while brandishing a knife.
The driver sustained minor injuries and the suspect fled the cab with a “quantity” of cash.
Police identified the suspect and he was spotted by an officer working traffic control on fireworks night Monday around 7:30 pm walking in the area of Wyandotte Street West and Victoria Avenue.
The suspect was then arrested without incident.
A 32-year-old Windsor man has been charged with robbery with an offensive weapon and breach of probation.
