A taxi driver going to the hospital with stab wounds has led to the arrest of a Thorold man.
Just before 2:00am, police say the cab driver checked into the hospital after allegedly being stabbed by a customer. Two suspects were identified by police and arrested, while the driver was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
29-year-old Daniel Vargas has been charged with aggravated assault and uttering threats, while the other suspect was released unconditionally.
The Welland Canal Parkway was closed for investigation this morning, but has since reopened.
