An argument in Ohio between a taxi cab driver and his passenger in the parking lot of a gas station early Friday near Cincinnati resulted in multiple gunshot wounds to the passenger’s neck and back and the driver being arrested on felony assault charges, according to a report.

The driver, Phillip Palmer, 71, of Cincinnati, was being held without bond at the Clermont County jail, Cincinnati.com reported. He is scheduled to appear in Clermont County Municipal Court at 10 a.m. Friday, the report said.

The victim, identified as Nick Young, 38, of Washington Township, was airlifted to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center late Thursday, authorities said. He was listed in stable condition Friday but no update was available, the website reported.

Additional charges against Palmer are pending after the Clermont County Prosecutor’s Office presents its case to a grand jury, the sheriff’s office said.

Deputies were called to the gas station at 8:42 p.m. by patrons who reported the shooting, sheriff’s officials said.

When deputies arrived, they discovered the suspect had fled the scene in a taxi cab he was driving, Cincinnati.com reported.

Deputies were asked to keep an eye out for a taxi cab travelling westbound on U.S. 52 away from the scene, the report said.

A taxi cab matching the description was located and detained by the New Richmond Police Department in the village of New Richmond, according to the sheriff’s office.

An Ohio woman who slipped and fell on a “wet floor” sign at Jack Casino in Cincinnati was given $3 million last week by a Hamilton County jury.

Lynda Sadowski had ventured towards the sign in September 2016, which had been knocked over by a customer earlier in the day. Unaware it was on the ground, she tripped, fell and suffered injuries as a result.

A Hamilton County jury found that Jack Casino failed to “use ordinary care” and failed to maintain a safe environment, resulting in Sadowski’s injury, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Her attorney, Matt Nakajima, said a Jack Casino employee had walked around the sign without picking it up just moments before her injury.

“The casino had no safety policies in place for floor inspection or fall prevention and had no criticism of the employee’s failure to pick up the trip hazard even though its own internal documents found her at fault,” Nakajima said. “The casino’s callous disregard for their customers’ safety was on full display throughout the trial.”

Sadowski had a broken knee cap, which required surgery to insert metal hardware in her knee. She now has arthritis where the fracture occurred and she says her mobility has worsened. Nakajima added a second surgery on her knee may be necessary.

Jack Casino argued in court that the “wet floor” sign was visible and Sadowski had simply failed to see it. According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, the attorney for the casino said her injuries “resulted merely from [her] failure to pay attention to her surroundings.”
