Police investigating armed robbery at cab company

BOSTON - Police are investigating an armed robbery at a Boston cab dispatching company Monday morning.

Two suspects forced victims into a basement. Police said one of the victims sustained a head injury after being pistol-whipped.

The suspects initially fled the scene in a stolen vehicle with thousands of dollars.

"Initially they hopped into a stolen vehicle, and then when they abandoned the stolen vehicle one of them attempted to hop into a cab," said Supt. William Evans, of the Boston Police Department.

A detail officer spotted the suspects trying to get into the cab and one of the men was arrested.

The other suspect is still on the run.

Police recovered the two firearms and believe they were the only weapons used in the incident.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Boston Police.
