Pittsburgh police are seeking information about the robbery of a taxi driver on Wednesday afternoon in the city’s Hazelwood neighborhood.

Police were called the 200 block of Winston Road shortly before 5 p.m. for a report of a strong-arm robbery. They said a juvenile had hired a taxi/ride-hail driver on the North Side, and as the vehicle neared Hazelwood, robbed the driver as he was making change.

Police said the driver did not report a weapon being used, and he was taken to a local hospital in good condition.

The suspect fled with an undisclosed amount of money, according to police, who continue to investigate.
