BRONX - The NYPD is looking for a hairnet wearing, knife-wielding thief who robbed an elderly cab driver in the Bronx last month. 




At around 8:30 am on September 4, a 63-year-old livery cab driver was parked in front of 1022 Rev. James A. Polite Avenue. Suddenly his fare seated behind him sprung forward and displayed a knife demanding cash. The thief made off with $87. 




Cops say the cabbie was not injured. 




Police released surveillance video of the suspect who was seen sporting a hair net.
