BRAMPTON — A Brampton cab driver escaped injury during a late-night attempted robbery on a residential street last night, Peel Regional Police report.

The cabbie was dispatched to pick up two men on Corvette Court and take them to Bramalea City Centre.

But when the cabbie arrived on the dead-end street at 9:25 p.m., located in the area of Chinguacousy Road and Sandalwood Parkway West, one man got in the front seat, the other in the back, and they told him to wait for a third.

That’s when he felt something poked into his side, one of the men was trying to tear out the cab’s security camera, and he was ordered to turn over his money.
