Cabbie, Passenger Throw Punches: Annapolis Police

ANNAPOLIS, MD — A cab driver and his passenger argued Monday, which then turned into an exchange of punches and a robbery, Annapolis Police say.

The men got out of the cab about 5:40 a.m. in the 1100 block of Frederick Douglass Street to scuffle, which resulted in the cab driver being knocked to the ground face-first. While he was on the ground, the passenger reportedly took two cell phones from the cabbie's pocket and ran off.

Police say the victim refused medical treatment.

The suspect was identified as Rico Green, 25, of Annapolis. An arrest warrant was issued for Green charging him with robbery and he was arrested Tuesday in Annapolis.
