Taxi driver assaults student
A female student was allegedly assaulted by a taxi driver after she was dropped off with two other female students by Los Alamitos Hall, Goodwin said. The incident occurred near Parking Lot 19 early Sunday morning at 1:38 a.m., he said.
After dropping the students off, the Long Beach Yellow Cab driver asked the victim to return to the vehicle to finish paying the tab, Goodwin said. The driver then allegedly “tried to grab the girl’s face and tried to kiss her and was very forceful,” Goodwin said.
A Long Beach Yellow Cab supervisor and investigator came out to the scene, Goodwin said. There were no reported injuries and the investigation is still ongoing, he said.
