Police are looking for three men who assaulted a livery cab driver and hung onto his car after he refused to give them a ride in Flushing last month.
At 1:45 a.m. on Sept. 15, a 47-year old male livery cab driver was inside of his vehicle waiting for a customer in front of 39-16 Prince St. As he was waiting, when he was approached by three individuals who demanded that he give them a ride.
