When they got there, the driver says the man only paid him part of the fare and said he was going to run inside for the rest of the money.
When the rider didn’t come back out, the driver went to the front door. That’s when he says the man came out with a pole in one hand and a knife in the other, threatening the driver.
The driver got back in his car and drove off before calling police.
