    Police: Cabbie Bites Woman Over Fare

    Woman Suffers Abrasions, Cut Lip, Officials Say

    A Central Florida cab driver who became agitated after demanding payment from a female passenger bit her arm and then sped away, dragging her, according to a Seminole County sheriff's report.

    Rachel Gookin was picked up by a cab driven by Hing Ho Tsang in Orlando on Tuesday at 1:26 a.m. and taken to Wekiva Trail in Seminole County, the sheriff's report stated.

    As Tsang turned onto Wekiva Trail, he demanded payment and became agitated, the report said. Gookin said she became scared, so she exited the cab, the report stated.

    Gookin told Seminole County sheriff's deputies that Tsang grabbed her cell phone from her hand and took off, so she ran after the vehicle and reached into the window in an attempt to retrieve her phone.

    Gookin said she was bitten on the arm by Tsang, who sped away while her arm was still inside the cab, dragging her as he drove away, the sheriff's report stated. Gookin was able to free her arm and fell to the ground, according to the report.

    Seminole County sheriff's deputies said Gookin had abrasions on her shoulder and knee, a lacerated lip and a bruise on her chest.

    Gookin went to a nearby home to call authorities, who later caught and arrested Tsang, who was transported to jail.

    Gookin was treated by firefighters and is expected to be OK.
