Three people were arrested last week in what police say was an attempted robbery of a cab driver. They got into the cab at around 11:30 p.m. on Thursday at 69th Street and Broadway and asked to be taken to 73rd Street and Amsterdam, police said.

Once they got to 73rd and Columbus, two of them hopped out while the third reached through the plexi-glass and attempted to take money out of the driver’s shirt pocket. The driver was able to fend the robber off, and police arrested all three — a 22-year-old woman, a 21-year-old man and a 17-year-old boy, the NYPD spokesperson said. It was a pretty large response.
