NEW YORK -- The robber targeting taxis in Manhattan has struck again -- only hours after drivers' group and the Guardian Angels handed out fliers urging drivers to be on the lookout.
The latest holdup happened around 10:40 last night on West 39th Street near Seventh Avenue, in midtown. Police say the robber brandished a gun, took an undetermined amount of cash from the driver and ran off.
Investigators suspect he was the same man responsible for seven taxi robberies in the Chelsea, SoHo and Lower East Side neighborhoods since May 17.
The New York State Federation of Taxi Drivers and the Guardian Angels crime-fighting group gave drivers copies of a police sketch of the suspect.
Police are asking anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS.
