Published July 4, 2012
TEXAS CITY — A taxi driver was robbed at gunpoint of his belongings, but police reported he was not physically harmed.
The driver, 50, for A-1 Taxi of Texas City, stopped at 4:15 a.m. Monday in the 100 block of Fifth Avenue North to pick up a female passenger. When she opened the door, a man stuck a shotgun in the driver’s face and ordered him to turn around. The gunman ripped the hand microphone from the cab’s radio and threatened to shoot the driver if he didn’t relinquish his cellphone, wallet and keys.
The man and woman left on foot, and the driver knocked on several doors until someone called police. The driver could provide only vague descriptions of the man and woman, Texas City police Capt. Brian Goetsch
