Detroit cab driver locks in robber who shot him

April 03, 2011

DETROIT (AP) — Authorities say a Detroit cab driver who was shot during a robbery attempt locked the suspect in his vehicle, then flagged down police.

Forty-one-year-old Terrance Banks was arraigned Saturday on charges including assault with intent to murder, armed robbery and firearms violations.

The ex-convict is due back in Detroit District Court on April 12. A judge set Banks' bond at $200,000, and it's unknown if he has a lawyer.

Police say the 44-year-old cab driver picked up Banks on Wednesday. They say Banks shot the driver with a rifle and demanded money.

The Detroit Free Press says the driver locked Banks in the back seat and flagged down a police car. Police say the driver was taken to a hospital for treatment of his wounds.
