Cabbie Has 2 Run-Ins With Armed Man In 2 Nights
TRACY, Calif. (AP) -- Tracy police are asking for the public's help after a cab driver's report of two run-ins with the same armed man in two nights.
Police spokesman Sgt. Tony Sheneman tells the Contra Costa Times the first incident occurred at about 8 p.m. Monday, when a man pulled a gun at a hotel, demanded a ride to Stockton, then robbed the driver of his cash and fled.
The next night, the driver told police he was in the parking lot of the Comstock Card Room in Tracy when the same man who'd robbed him the night before pulled a gun and tried to grab him.
The driver got away, went into the card room and called for help.
Sheneman says the victim told police he doesn't know why he's being targeted.
Anyone with information is urged to call Tracy police at 209-831-4550.
