TOWN OF NEWBURGH – Two passengers stole a taxi from the driver early Sunday morning.

Town police Chief Bruce Campbell said the two men got into the cab at an unknown location and asked to be taken to the Hudson Valley Hotel on Route 17K.

When they arrived at their destination, one of the men displayed a large knife and told the driver to get out of the cab. The driver complied and the men drove off in the cab, which was found abandoned a short time later on Mill Street in the City of Newburgh.

Town police detectives are investigating. There was no further description of the suspects.
