Within blocks of where he was picked up, a passenger robbed his cabbie in Hawthorne yesterday.
An unknown man entered a 41-year-old man’s Capital Cab Co. taxi at 12:48 a.m. May 22 at Broad and Carpenter streets, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. As the cab reached 13th and Christian streets, the passenger pointed a black handgun at the driver and ordered him to hand over cash. He gave him $60, and the robber fled southbound on 13th.
The offender was described as black, age 35 to 38, 5-foot-7, 200 pounds, close-cropped hair and wearing a white T-shirt and black pants.
