WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A 17-year-old boy has been arrested after police say he pointed a gun at a taxi driver to avoid paying the fare in Wichita.

According to Sgt. Roger Runft, a 42-year-old taxi driver picked up the suspect and a 16-year-old girl Friday afternoon. Runft says when they arrived at their destination, the boy pulled out a gun “and told them to open the door and they would not get hurt.”

Authorities say the suspect then jumped out of the car and ran away. Officers arrested him a few blocks away after speaking with the girl.

The suspect faces aggravated assault charges.
