A Bristol man has been charged in an attack on a cab driver.

The cab driver told police that he was attacked after picking up a man from a bar. The Elkhart Truth reports that 31 year-old Eric Prouty was arrested Saturday and charged with a felony of battery resulting in moderate injury.

The police report says the attack happened during the ride, forcing the cab to pull over. Prouty allegedly told the police that he “just hates cab drivers.”
