Portland police are looking for two men they say robbed a local taxi driver at knifepoint Sunday night.
A 69-year-old taxi driver picked up two men in Monument Square for a ride to an address on Munjoy Hill, according to a Monday afternoon news release by Portland police Lt. Robert Martin.
Just before 8 p.m., one of the men told the driver to stop the cab on Adams Street, near Kellogg Street, and then demanded cash at knifepoint, Martin said.
