Chicago cabbie kidnaps woman, forces her to spit in his face.

I'd spit in his face. With a hammer. From Chicago Sun-Times and thanks to Christy.

A taxi driver from Evanston licked a 24-year-old customer's feet and forced her to spit in his face and rub his nipples during an attack in the back of his cab over the July 4th weekend, Cook County prosecutors said Monday.

The Rockford woman was lost late Friday and was trying to reconnect with her friend when she hailed Fred Batrony's cab at Clark and Fullerton, authorities said. During the ride the woman fell asleep. When she awoke, she found herself in a secluded "forest type area" and saw Batrony nestle up to her in the passenger seat, assistant state's attorney George Canellis said.

Batrony, 55, started talking "naughty" to the woman, asking her to spit on him and touch him, according to a police report. She eventually complied because she was afraid, Canellis said before Judge Adam Bourgeois Jr. ordered Batrony held in lieu of $1 million bail.

Batrony also licked the woman's toes and feet when he sexually abused her, Canellis said. Afterward, the Port-au-Prince, Haiti, native allegedly asked the victim where she needed to go, and he drove her to Clark and Diversey.
