London police are looking for a suspect after a woman was sexually assaulted while hitching a ride with what she thought was an unmarked taxi-cab.
The London Police Service said on Tuesday shortly after 2 a.m., a woman attempted to flag down a taxi on Richmond Street near Western Road and a black 4-door sedan stopped to pick her up. The woman got into the vehicle believing it to be a cab, however, the driver became upset when she was unable to pay for the ride.
