Caught On Video: Suspects Use Stun Gun, Assault, Rob San Francisco Taxi Driver
SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX 5) -- San Francisco police have released video of a violent robbery involving four suspects and a taxi cab driver.
It happened on August 2.
In the video, the taxi driver is blurred. He did not want to be shown or talk to the media.
