Ataur Rahman, a cab driver in the Bronx, was severely beaten and robbed while on the job Feb. 6, news reports said quoting police.
Eyewitness News said several of Raman’s teeth were broken, and his face was severely cut when he was attacked with a bottle the night of Feb. 6. Rahman was also robbed of more than a thousand dollars cash, and his jacket.
Police arrested 16-years-old Rondell Mines the next day and charged him for the robbery. Police are still looking for a second suspect.
Rahman, who has been driving livery cab for two years, was recovering from injuries in New York Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, the report Feb 8 said. He suffered a fractured jaw and needed 12 stitches on his lips, and relatives say he lost somewhere between 10 and 12 teeth.
The incident happened at the intersection of East 172nd Street and St. Lawrence Avenue just before midnight. The driver had dropped off his fare about a half a block away when he realized his back door was left open, apparently deliberately.
When he got out to shut the door, he was jumped by the two men and was hit in the face with what police believe was a champagne bottle.
“He is very scared right now,” son Limon Mahmdur was quoted by Eyewitness News, as saying. “He is having a phobia. He keeps telling us, ‘Don’t go out. Someone is going to come in. Make sure you close the doors.’ He’s in danger right now, and in a critical situation. They could have just killed him.”
