Police from the 114th Precinct are still looking for a woman who allegedly robbed a cabbie at knifepoint in the Dutch Kills section of Long Island City and gave him a beating last month.
The 68-year-old taxi driver was in front of 23-10 41st Ave., a block north of Queensboro Plaza, just before 6 p.m. on Sunday, May 4, when the suspect got into the victim’s vehicle and pulled out a knife, police said Wednesday.
She threatened the cabbie with the knife and demanded his property. When he was slow to comply, the perpetrator allegedly punched and kicked the driver multiple times before forcibly removing an undetermined amount of cash before getting out of the taxi.
She was last seen traveling westbound on 41st Avenue toward 21st Street. The victim was not injured
