String of robberies against NYC cabbies

(New York - WABC, May 29, 2007) (WABC) -- Guardian Angels join in the search for the man who police say is behind the string of robberies against NYC cabbies.

The alleged suspect has struck seven times in one week. Police are so concerned and want to catch the guy before someone gets hurt.

The suspect is being described as a black man between the age of 30 and 40 years old, about 6 feet to 6'3" tall, with a muscular build.

There is a real push now to catch him and police say his method is the same. He reportedly jumps into the passenger seat, demands cash, sometimes with a gun and then takes off.

"He came in the cab, put a gun to my stomach, asked for my wallet, took the money and ran away with it," said one of the robbery victims.

The Federation of Taxi Drivers and Guardian Angels are scheduled to distribute an additional sketch of suspect at 11:30 a.m. They are trying help get the picture and information out as soon as possible.
