NEW YORK (CBS) ― The NYPD is looking for the public’s help in finding a man wanted for the attempted robbery of a city livery cab.

Police say the suspect pulled a black semi-automatic handgun and demanded the driver’s money, but when a struggle ensued, the suspect proceeded to bite the cabbie repeatedly on the neck, arm and back. The suspect entered the cab at East 130 Street and Lexington Avenue around 3 a.m. on March 13. He then asked to be taken to a location near Bronx Community College.

Police said when they arrived to the destination, the suspect pulled the gun and demanded the cabbie’s money. The suspect is described as a 6-foot Hispanic male in his 30s, wearing a black leather jacket.

This economy is tough…even on immortals.

    Well, at least the vampire didn’t shoot the cabbie.

    Fighting to keep some money===stupid.

    I would however draw a line at getting bit in the neck. That sucks.

    Gothamist.com has NY news stories, just like this.

    I could see this jerk getting a reality TV show. He should have something appropriate tattooed on his forehead.
