Livery cab driver Orji Ama Uro was fatally stabbed in the eye with an umbrella after dropping off a man and woman in Brooklyn. The point of the umbrella pierced his brain. A gypsy cab driver killed by a passenger who savagely stabbed him in the eye with an umbrella in Brooklyn was a dedicated father of five who worked to help his family find a better life, a relative said Friday.
Orji-Ama Uro, 54, had just let a man and a woman out of the livery cab on Thomas S. Boyland St. in Brownsville when the pair began to argue with the driver about 5 p.m. Thursday, police sources said.
The injured driver lost control of his vehicle, drove onto the sidewalk, and crashed into two parked vehicles.
The man, believed to be in his 20s, then jabbed the umbrella through Uro’s right eye — piercing his brain — before the cabbie hit the gas and crashed into a couple of parked cars outside a Lott Ave. home, sources said.
“The scene was gruesome,” said Fernando Mateo, president of the New York State Federation of Taxi Drivers. “His face was just exploded with blood.”
Common sense is indeed not common.
