Cab driver and passenger assault case in Brooklyn: Accused still at large

Police have not yet identified the accused cab driver or charged him with anything. Meanwhile, the victims were taken to a nearby hospital and are expected to recover.

According to authorities, the woman hired a cab to get to her physical therapy appointment. However, she noticed that the driver did not drop her off at the destination and instead refused to let her out. This led to chaos and argument between the driver and the elderly right there on the street.

Moments later, the driver is said to have dragged the old woman out of her seat and dropped her onto the street in Brooklyn. She then tells the good Samaritan who has been recording the whole incident, to call 911 and complain that the driver stole her money and phone.

The 35-year-old man even checks to see if the elderly woman is fine, to which she responds in the negative.

"I’m a 78-year-old lady and he threw me out of the cab, he took my money, he took my phone."

Following the incident, the woman was left shaken and sat on the Brooklyn roadway with her shoes off.

New York City’s Taxi and Limousine Commission, via Twitter, mentioned that they were working with the police on the matter. Investigations are ongoing and authorities are hoping to arrest the cab driver soon.
