A 64-year-old cab driver was forced at gun point to take a passenger from San Francisco to Oakland Monday night, police said.

The incident began at Sacramento and Drumm streets when the cabbie picked up the passenger as a regular fare about 9 p.m., according to the San Francisco Police Department. The robber pulled out a gun and demanded that he be taken to Oakland and ordered the driver to hand over his money and cell phone, police said.

The suspect, police said, was dropped off in Uptown Oakland. Police have yet to make an arrest.

The incident came a day after another San Francisco cab driver was held captive by a 49-year-old passenger, who held scissors to his throat and ordered him to take her to Lombard and Pierce Street, police said. The 63-year-old driver escaped from the cab without being injured and police later tracked down the suspect, Andrea Player, who was arrested on suspicion of robbery, kidnapping and making criminal threats.
