Roy Carlson Jr. says hair gel saved his life.
That was one of the first fleeting thoughts the St. Paul taxi driver had as he struggled with the 15-year-old girl who, seconds earlier, had slashed his throat and stabbed him repeatedly after a cab ride gone awry early Tuesday.
After the girl tried to stiff him on a $22 cab fare following a ride across St. Paul, the frustrated driver for Diamond Cab Co. was driving her to a St. Paul police precinct for violating curfew.
"All of the sudden I hear her scream in the background, 'I'm not going to jail!' and she pulled my hair back and started to cut my throat," he said Wednesday. "I had styling cream in my hair, and it slipped out of her hands."
"I'm kind of ticked off by now, and I said, 'Pick her up at juvenile hall, I'm gonna take her in for curfew,'" he said.
A knife cut into his neck
That's typical protocol for getting stiffed, Carlson said, and it's easier than filing a police report, which he said generally doesn't result in recovered money, and takes additional time. Carlson said he had turned onto Edgcumbe from Montreal when he felt the kitchen knife cut into his neck. She jumped out of the cab immediately when he grabbed her. Both of them were covered in blood.
"I said, 'You know I'm bringing you in for a curfew violation. Do you realize you're looking at attempted murder now?' It was then that I think it hit her, and she started to cry."

Just a stab will do ya.
Dippity Don’t
I thought, tough dude, for someone who uses "product."
“They grow up in the most delightful ways.”
I wonder if she gets charged as an adult?
This is not a joking matter - urban bitch3s often carry cheap (think a certain -mart)steak knives - thin, easy to conceal and cheap, so a good throw away weapon. Their willingness to use them is seen in the story.
greasy kid stuff worked
ROTFLOL! Good one! :-)
I second this information. ASOC is right on the money.
Yeah, good thing he didn't switch to Fatalis!
Or Kyllcreem!
You wonder if his cab company gives him the right to refuse service to that part of town. I know that "urban" people often complain they can't get a cab.
Noteworthy that the cabbie had to inform the stupid ho that sticking a steak knife into someone's neck is attempted murder.
Roy Carlson Jr.? What kind of name is that for a Minnesotan?
No name, no photo, no description. Am I correct in thinking that the media wanted to be politically correct with these omissions?
LOL Nice
An Obama-girl, no doubt....just trying to overcome racist America by slashing the throat of her white cabdriver.
They can’t identify a juvenile.
I don’t think I’d stop beating the tar out of her. She’d need surgery to eat again. That’ll teach the little bitch she isn’t so tough.
