Toronto police have released security camera images of two men accused of robbing a taxi driver at knifepoint in the city’s Riverdale neighbourhood earlier this month.

Police say that on Jan. 16, a 38-year-old taxi driver picked up a group of people in the area of Spadina Avenue and Queen Street West.

The group asked to be taken to the Danforth and Pape avenues area.

Once the cab arrived at their destination, police allege a man sitting in the backseat of the cab pulled out a knife and ordered the driver to abandon his taxi.

Police allege others in the cab then joined in to help the armed suspect search the cab for valuables.

Investigators say the group made off with an unknown amount of money.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact police at 416-808-5400, or Crime Stoppers at 416-222-8477.
