Episode Details

A Montreal couple had a harrowing night when they hopped into what they thought was a legit taxi—only to be trapped, assaulted, and forced to flee as the driver allegedly punched the boyfriend for his phone. The car sped off with the man’s guitar left behind, now in police hands. This chilling incident exposes a growing epidemic of fake taxis and ride-shares in the city, where deceptive signs and lax regulations make it hard to spot illegals—and authorities warn that without stricter enforcement and more inspectors, another tragedy could strike. Passengers are urged to always verify IDs, meters, and matching driver info before hopping in.
