WORCESTER — On Friday, July 4, 2025, at approximately 5:27 p.m., Worcester police officers were dispatched to Uxbridge Street following a report of an armed robbery.
According to a statement from the Worcester Police Department, when officers arrived on scene, they were met by the victim, a cab driver, who said he picked up two juvenile males near the intersection of Gardner and Main streets.
The driver told police that after stopping at the corner of Uxbridge Street and Green Hill Parkway and asking for payment, the juveniles refused to pay — and one of them pulled out a firearm and pointed it at the driver’s seat.
Both suspects then exited the cab and ran down Green Hill Parkway. The driver was not injured.
Following an investigation, police located and arrested the two suspects — ages 14 and 16 — on Saturday, July 5.
Both juveniles were charged with armed assault to rob and evading a taxi fare.
