EL PASO, Texas —
Three Fort Bliss soldiers are accused of robbing a taxi driver and then stabbing him at least five times, base officials said. The stabbing happened on post.The taxi driver's family told KFOX14 that he's in William Beaumont Army Medical Center, and they expect him to leave the hospital tomorrow.
The driver worked as an independent contractor for Sun City Cabs. Sun City has an exclusive contract with Fort Bliss for the last five years.
Fort Bliss officials told KFOX14 it's horrified and disgusted by what happened. Fort Bliss said the suspects were new Fort Bliss soldiers.
Fort Bliss officials said those soldiers don't represent the values of the U.S. Army or the nation.
At this point, the family doesn't want the driver or to be identified, but the driver’s son said his dad is not the type of man to let something happened to him.
“He’s angry about the soldiers,” the victim’s son said. “I mean they’re our nation’s heroes but the military is picking up a bunch of kids and supposed to check every one of them.” A manager at Sun City Cabs said that this is the first act of violence against any Sun City Cab driver since the company opened in 1980.
