It was a cabbie who called 911 and alerted cops that Nic Cage was out of control with his wife Saturday morning.
In an exclusive interview with RadarOnline.com, the dispatcher for United Cabs spoke about the incident that resulted in the Gone In 60 Seconds star locked up for domestic abuse and disturbing the police.
"Its a real shame," said the dispatcher, who asked that we not use his name.
