TORONTO, Ont. (WIVB) - Toronto police are searching for a man who they say stabbed, robbed and ran over a cab driver.

The driver was attacked as he picked up a fare near Keele and Wilson Avenue around 11 p.m. Tuesday.

The passenger forced the driver to pull over then stabbed him in the stomach.  The cabbie managed to open the door and fall out of the vehicle while it was still in drive, forcing the car to run over part of the man's body. Police did not say which part was run over.  The suspect forced the driver to hand over the cash before fleeing on foot.

Police released a photo of the suspect taken from the cab's dashcam.
