Live Boston reports that around 5:30 this morning, a cab driver walked into the D-14 police station in Brighton with a freshly opened forehead, which she said she got minutes before when he arrived at 28 Jette Way in the Fidelis Way development to pick up a woman, who got in bearing a hammer and a buthcer knife and then used the sharper implement to try to carve open her head. The suspect then ran away. The driver is expected to recover.

I hope she at least tipped well for the inconvenience.

Ewww....That's really horrible!

Here's hoping that the cab driver called the police on her right away! That woman deserves to be arrested, tried for and charged with assault in a court of law, and to serve a longtime jail sentence. Let's hope that happens.

The driver and the attacker were both female. There's a few "he"s in the story above that probably need fixing.
