"Vampire" Robber Attacks Cabbie In The Bronx

2010_03_vamp.jpg Where is Buffy Summers when you need her? The police are looking for a man who, while allegedly trying to rob a cabbie last Saturday, repeatedly sunk his teeth into the cabbie's body to get the cash.

According to 1010 WINS, police say that the man, described as a Hispanic male in his thirties, about 6-feet tall, wearing a black leather jacket, "got into the taxi at East 130th Street and Lexington Avenue in Manhattan on March 13 at around 3:05 a.m. and asked to be taken to an address near Bronx Community College." But at West 180th Street and Davidson Avenue in the Bronx, the suspect allegedly showed his semi-automatic handgun and asked for the cabbie's money.

The Bronx News reports, "While struggling over the weapon, the robber proceeded to bite the driver five times in the neck, arm and back. The suspect fled the vehicle in an unknown direction without the cash."

Naturally, this means the suspect is being called a "would be Nosferatu" and a "Dracula wanna-be." The police managed to release this still, so this means...vampires can be photographed?

    Cabbie was an idiot. He may have dodged a bullet from this fiend but now he's got to be worried about the AIDS.

    "worried about the AIDS"

    ...shouldn't he rather be worried that he may turn into a ghoul? modern reality kills everything...
