NEW YORK - New York City officials are investigating a gay couple's claim that a cab driver threw them out of his taxi for
hugging.
The Commission on Human Rights and the Taxi & Limousine Commission are looking into the complaint about an incident Monday in Manhattan.
Paul Bruno said the driver pulled over two blocks into the ride and told them to get out.

If it's determined Mohamed refused service on the basis of sexual orientation, he could face fines, suspension and or loss of his taxi license.
