NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Police are trying to track down the trio responsible for stabbing a cab driver in the Bronx after they refused to pay for their ride, police said.
On Thursday, Jan. 20, at about 9:30 p.m., a 34-year-old livery driver picked up three people near 3222 Bronx Blvd. in Olinville.
Cops said soon after, the cab arrived at 184th Street and Creston Avenue in Fordham Heights. Authorities said upon arrival, all three passengers — two males and a female — fled without paying the fare.
The cab driver got out of his vehicle and was able to “apprehend” the female, but the two males returned and stabbed the driver multiple times in the chest with a knife, police said.
The three are also accused of robbing the driver of an unknown amount of money after the assault, according to cops.
The driver was taken to Saint Barnabas Hospital in stable condition.
