SOUTH OZONE PARK — Police were asking the public’s help in identifying two suspects they said robbed a cab driver in the early hours of Feb. 2.

Police described the suspect who took the money as a light-skinned black man, who was 20 to 25 years old and wore a red hooded sweatshirt and a black jacket. The second suspect was a black woman, who was also 20 to 25 years old and had a thin build, police said.
