Lyft driver injured after stabbing in Dayton; police searching for suspects

DAYTON — A Lyft driver was injured after a stabbing in Dayton Tuesday evening.

Around 5:40 p.m. Dayton police and medics were called to the 5000 block of Norris Drive to reports of a stabbing, according to Dayton Police Sgt. Zachary Banks.

Banks said an initial investigation found that an argument took place between a Lyft driver and the people he was picking up.

Police believe the argument was over how many people the Lyft driver said he could allow into his car.
