An intoxicated 19-year-old Evanston resident jumped from a moving taxi in the 2300 block of Sheridan Road early Sunday morning and sustained minor injuries, police said.

The man was unable to pay his fare upon reaching his requested destination, and while the taxi driver was driving to the Evanston Police Station to resolve the dispute, the man opened the passenger door and fell to the ground, Evanston Police Department spokesman Perry Polinski said in an email to The Daily.

The man was transported to Evanston Hospital and a relative of his paid the taxi fare, Polinski said.
