They say a taxi driver was sprayed

Police are looking for a man and woman wanted after a taxi driver was pepper sprayed in Niagara Falls.

They say this happened Sunday, February 15th, at around 11:30pm, in the Buckeye Crescent and Kalar Road area.

The taxi driver dropped the two suspects off, after giving them a ride from near the casino on Fallsview Boulevard.

But, they left without paying, and when the driver asked for payment, the man sprayed the driver and then ran off.

Police say both suspects are white, in their 20s.

The driver was treated at the scene by EMS.
