An 82-year-old taxi driver was punched unconscious and kicked on a Chinatown street last week by a passenger who refused to pay the fare, the NYPD said Friday.


Police released an image of the 20-something-year-old suspect who they're searching for in the attack around 1 a.m. last Friday at Canal and Division streets.

The passenger refused to pay, and when the cabbie confronted him, he punched him, causing him to fall onto the roadway and lose consciousness, police said.

He then kicked the victim as he was unconscious on the ground, according to cops.

He showed none for an elderly man just trying to make ends meet, no doubt.
