Behind bars: 23-year-old cab driver Tajamul Syed is being
held on $250,000 bail for allegedly sexually assaulting a
female passenger who fell asleep in the back of his car
According to prosecutors, Syed picked up a female
passenger in the early hours of November 1 after she spent
Halloween night celebrating with a friend.
The woman says she fell asleep in the car and the next
thing she remembers was waking up to find her costume
pants pulled down and Syed sexually assaulting her.
She says she pushed him off her, got out of the cab and
ran home.
Both the victim and her friend were able to identify Syed.
He works for 303 Taxi. When he was arrested, his car was
impounded so that it could be searched for possible
evidence.
Syed's next hearing is scheduled for Tuesday.
