A former Orlando City soccer player was arrested over the weekend after the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office said he punched a taxi driver in the face over a $57 cab fare, according to the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office.
Benjamin David Polk, 25, is accused of punching the driver repeatedly, knocking out a front tooth and bloodying his mouth, deputies said.
Deputies were called to the 1100 block of Island Shore Lane just after 3 a.m. Saturday. They found the cab driver standing next to his taxi with blood on his face and shirt, authorities said.
