Police have released an eight-minute video of a Hamilton taxi cab robbery in the hopes of finding two people suspected of robbing the driver at knifepoint this week.

It's the second such robbery this month, and the second to be captured by in-car surveillance cameras.

The driver picked up a man and a woman around Barton Street and James Street North at 5 a.m. on Monday. They asked for a ride to Augusta and Young Streets.

When they got to Augusta and Walnut Street South, the male passenger told the driver to stop the car. When he did, the man put a knife against the driver’s neck.

The driver grabbed the knife and pushed it away, then got out of the taxi and ran away. The man and woman also got out of the cab and ran south along Walnut Street, then west along Young Street.

The culprits stole cash, a debit terminal and a bag full of the victim’s personal items. The victim suffered minor cuts to his hands.

Police are already investigating the robbery of a Hamilton cab driver earlier this month. Three women pulled a knife and a hammer on the driver. Police also released video of that robbery.

A taxi driver also suffered a slashed hand in early February after a brawl with three teenagers. In January, a Hamilton woman was charged after throwing vomit at a cab driver.

The suspects in this incident are described as follows:

A white man about 35 years old, 5’10”, 150 pounds with a medium build and a black jacket.

A white woman about 35 years old, 5’5”, 170 pounds with a heavy build and wearing a black jacket.

Police have released video and gallery of images of the robbery. Anyone with information should contact Det. Ben Licop or Det. Matthew Fletcher at 905-546-3817 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
