Three tourists from Gujarat, including a minor boy, were arrested in North Goa on Thursday for stabbing a taxi driver over non-payment of fares, police said.

Sarvesh Singh, Bhavesh Vyas and the boy, who assaulted the driver with a knife, were arrested in Calangute, some 20 km from here.

“When they could not pay the fare, the tourists asked the driver to drive them back to the hotel. The boy stabbed the driver while he was driving,” police said.
