CHICAGO (AP) — Authorities have charged a Chicago cabdriver with attacking a female passenger in his taxi.

The Chicago Police News Affairs office says prosecutors charged 55-year-old Fred Batrony of Evanston on Sunday with kidnapping and criminal sexual abuse.

Police say a 24-year-old woman hailed Batrony's cab shortly before midnight Friday at Clark Street and Fullerton Ave. and asked him to drive her to an address less than a mile away. The woman told officers Batrony instead drove her to a secluded area, where he attacked her.

After Batrony released the woman, she hailed a police car and gave a detailed description of the driver and his car.
