SAN ANTONIO – A taxi cab driver who was robbed at gunpoint said she’s been working in fear for more than a week since the attack.
“I can't have nobody walk up on the side of my vehicle like they did. Yeah, it fazed me,” the woman said.
The Yellow Cab driver, who did not want to be identified, said around midnight on April 8, she was working in her taxi like any other night.
The driver picked up a woman two blocks from St. Mary’s University. The woman asked to be taken two minutes away on Culebra Road near a Dollar General.
The driver said the transaction seemed normal.
“She (said) she just moved over here. She was talking on her phone,” the driver said.
The driver said she was about to ask for payment when a man wearing a bandanna began bashing her window.
The driver said she knew whatever was happening wasn’t good. She pressed on the gas pedal. That’s when her passenger grabbed her steering wheel, causing the driver to crash into a fence.
The woman in the back seat was in on it the whole time.
“I was trying to give him the money, but then the chick came out the car and was like, 'Get out.' And so they pulled me out,” the driver said.
The man and the woman both held guns up. They took the driver’s backpack and $12.
The driver said the woman is about 5 feet 4 inches tall with long brown hair to her waistline and has a thin build. She said she didn’t get a good look at the man.
Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to an arrest.
Anyone with information is asked to call 210-224-7867.
