MONTREAL — A Montreal cabbie who faces seven charges for allegedly striking two people on purpose with his vehicle will find out Thursday whether he'll get bail.

Nick Forlinano Gauthier's bail hearing wrapped up Wednesday and featured testimony from someone close to the taxi driver.

The charges against the accused, 32, include aggravated assault, criminal negligence and dangerous driving causing bodily harm.

The taxi driver allegedly struck the two men for failing to pay their fare as they got out of the cab on Monday.

An 18-year-old suffered head injuries, while a 20-year-old was also taken to hospital with less serious wounds.
