Police are looking for up to seven people accused of carjacking an Uber driver in Harlem and then robbing a man at knifepoint in the Bronx.
On July 28, investigators said the group got into an Uber XL at East 125th Street and Lenox Avenue in Harlem. A suspect ordered the driver to pull over while a second pulled out a knife and a third told the driver he had a gun, police said.
Investigators said the driver, 33, complied and followed more orders to get out of the car. Two suspects got out of the car and fled on foot, while five stayed in the car and drove off. The driver left his wallet and iPhone, worth approximately $1,100, inside the car, police said. He was not hurt.
