Chicago Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane and his cousin were arrested early Sunday morning for assaulting and robbing a cab driver in Buffalo, according to several news sources in that city.

According to a police report, the 20-year-old Kane and his cousin James M. Kane, 21, were arrested around 5am et after allegedly punching the cabbie after he said he did not have proper change for their trip fare.

The report says the cab fare was $13.80 and the Kanes handed the driver $15. He claims he had only $1 change and was not in possession of another twenty cents to give back. According to the police report, both Kanes took their money back and punched the cabbie in the face and head.

Both men have been charged with second-degree robbery, fourth-degree criminal mischief and theft of services.

The NHL is working with the local police department in trying to assemble the details.

Kane, a Buffalo native, had attended a press conference with the mayor to announce funding for a local rink earlier in the evening.

WGRZ.com says the driver appeared to have suffered cuts to his face as well as damage to his glasses.

Buffalo's WIVB is reporting that an attorney for the Kanes has entered a plea of not guilty in City court.

What a couple of slugs. Wouldn't a $1.20 tip be standard with that cab fare at the minimum?

cheap bastard.used to like kane. if this is true I lost all respect for him.

Here comes another 5 pages about tipping.

He's giving you a ride.

He's not your friend. Your logic here is completely idiotic and I hope you don't reproduce.

Sounds like there's a lot of missing story here.

jesus christ get the fuck out of here. look up the word "gratuity"

he's from south buffalo, it's the kind of place where people argue binge drinking is a sport and where new yorkers actually root for the red sox.

This may be over your head, but:

If you work in a service industry, and you work at one of the biggest tourist attractions in the world, it's pretty standard that you have to at least say "Hello" to someone who purchases your service.

Oh besides the fact that it's common fucking human courtesy to say "Hi" to someone that you are picking up in your car.

What would you think if someone gave you a ride in their car and didn't look at you or say a single word to you? Please answer this question.

I would prob think like many cab drivers he spoke poor english or didnt want to chat. Either way, wouldnt really give a fuck and would tip him 2 cents upon arrival

if the op is accurate and the complete story, i hope they both go to jail
