A San Francisco cab driver lost more than his fare when he picked up two passengers who robbed him at knifepoint.

According to police, the robbers hailed the cab at 15th and Potrero streets at about 1:30 a.m. After they hopped in the taxi, both suspects -- a man and woman in their early 30s -- pulled a knife on the driver and demanded all his property.

The robbers cleaned the victim out, collecting his cellphones, money, jacket, taxi cameras, taxi computer, and credit card, says Officer Gordon Shyy.

Both robbers fled the cab on foot. No arrests have been made.

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
