When the driver asked the man for his cab fare at North 2nd St. and E. Dean Ave. just before 1:45 a.m. he pointed a gun at her head, got out of the cab and ran in an unknown direction.

The driver told police that the passenger was a slim, black man wearing a red shirt and blue jeans or shorts.

No one was injured.
