Taxi driver in the hospital after knife attack in Manoa

POSTED: 09:34 p.m. HST, Nov 15, 2008
Honolulu police are looking for two suspects in the stabbing and robbery of a taxi driver in a Manoa cul-de-sac this afternoon.
The 54-year-old victim, a driver for TheCab, was taken to the Queen’s Medical Center. Bryan Cheplic, spokesman for the Honolulu Emergency Services Department, said the victim was taken in critical condition and was later upgraded to serious.
Police said the taxi driver picked up the two men, one in his 40s and another in his mid-20s, in Makiki. When he arrived at a house at 3291 Pinaoula St., one of the robbers asked him for change. As the driver checked, he was attacked and stabbed in the right side of his neck. The men took an undisclosed amount of money and ran in the makai direction, police said.
A neighbor heard the man and called for help at about 1:20 p.m., said Honolulu police Lt. Gerrit Kurihara.
