Driving a cab is hard enough work without your fare knifing you after he arrives at his destination. So let's all help Hollywood Police get the guy in the picture. Squint if you have to.

Judging by the news release, it doesn't seem that the stabber made off with any money, aside from his own free ride. Leaves you to wonder what on earth possessed this guy to stab the cabbie, Saint Sanveur Michel, who's still at Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood.

Hollywood PD's latest release tells a few more details about the case -- that Michel picked up the suspect at Hollywood Hard Rock, whose security cameras found his picture, then drove him to a few stops before the altercation at the 7000 block of Charleston Street.
