An Akron Lyft driver has been arrested and charged with kidnapping after allegedly driving off with a passenger's 1-year-old daughter following an altercation.
Police said they were called to Arlington Street at Triplett Boulevard on reports of a kidnapping.
When they arrived, they found a 25-year-old woman who had reported a fight with her Lyft driver over their ride, and the driver stopped the car and sped away after she got out of the vehicle with her almost 2-year-old daughter inside.
At the same time, police said they received a call from the Archwood Avenue fire station of a child being dropped off.
The 52-year-old driver was arrested and charged with kidnapping and possession of drug paraphernalia.
