Cab Driver Stabbed, Has Car Stolen In Brooklyn Attack, Cops Say

CROWN HEIGHTS, BROOKLYN — One suspect is still on the loose from a September attack where a cab driver was stabbed and had his car stolen in Brooklyn, police said this week.

Police released photos Thursday of a woman wanted on robbery charges for the Sept. 25 attack.

The woman and a man, Lynwood Jackson, who has since been arrested, were both passengers in a cab that dropped them off around 5:20 pm. on Union Street that day, police said.

When the pair got out of the car, the woman tried to take the 69-year-old driver's cell phone through the passenger side window, according to police.

The driver was able to wrestle the phone away from the woman, police said, but Lynwood then began punching him through the driver's side window and eventually stabbed him in the arm with a sharp object.

When the driver got out of the car to confront the duo, Lynwood got into the cab and drove away, police said. The woman fled in an unknown direction.

The cab driver was treated by emergency responders for a laceration on his arm.

Police eventually arrested Lynwood on robbery charges in early November, but said the woman is unapprehended.

She is described as being between 20 and 30 years old, standing 5'4" to 5'8" tall and has glasses and a pink purse. She was last seen wearing a black wrap on her head, a blue mask on her face, a black hooded sweater, a white shirt, black pants and black sneakers.
