Hail a taxi

Hi

Could you please tell me if this sounds fully natural to you?

Could you hail a taxi for me?

Or this?

I saw him near the shop looking for/hailing a taxi.

Thanks,

Tom

Both are natural.

Mr. TomI saw him near the shop looking for a taxi.

Understandable as the sentence below, but this is the more precise shade of meaning that you want here:
