No word yet from Mayor Miller...

...on banning small red cars along Queen St.
-- TORONTO -- Police are looking for a woman who may have tried to "take out" her partner by running him down with her car outside an east-end bar, but instead hit a 60-year-old bystander.

Police say the driver of the vehicle – reportedly a small red or burgundy older model car – fled the scene. "The intended victim, possibly her husband or boyfriend, got away before anything happened.

"She tried to take him out," Staff Sgt. Rod McLean said.

Jennifer Zhang, a bartender at Teddy's, told the Star the man who was hit is a regular, nicknamed "Sixpack."
