Watch as cab robbery gets interrupted by police

- Cab driver Ralph Valletta started his shift with Reading Metro Taxi by being the victim of an attempted robbery. Luckily, there was a cop parked right behind him. Video use with permission by Reading Metro Taxi.
When he looked in the side mirror and saw a police officer walking that was probably the most relieving moment he experienced in his life
God in for of police
It actually gave him a bit of relief but put him further into panic due to the large number of scenarios that could come from this
@@techkingdata9338 thank god he was smart and didn’t try sum like taking the guy hostage he saved his own life by listening to the cops edit: not saying the guy is smart but the situation could’ve turned deadly any second if he didn’t get out of the car
He’s lucky he didn’t get shot. He panicked and almost died because of it. He couldn’t give the criminal his wallet, like his brain locked up or something.
@@techkingdata9338 this dude was not thinking about various scenarios. He wasn’t thinking at all.
It's hilarious that the cop is there the entire time. You know he had to be thinking "there's no way this guy is that stupid".
It's not even an unmarked car literally says sheriff on the front has lights on top spot light . Robber was probably too amped up to notice.
yes He is that stupid
yes they are pretty stupid
He’s definitely that stupid,ha ha rot in prison loser.
No that guy was that stupid and look what he got. Well deserved.
He's sitting in jail for the next 50 years thinking I did all of this for $3 and a cell phone
@@jmah5553no probably got released on bail immediately then ran for a year then got caught again robbing someone else then finally got 3 years and other robberies dropped but then got let out on parole after 6 months... now hes back out here robbing grandma's

I feel so badly for the driver, he sounded so scared and upset, as anyone would be at that happening! ☹️ So glad the police officer was able to recognise what was happening, I don’t know how it was possible to tell from that far away!
yeah really, to see what's going on from that far away, that poor driver. I like to know what that robber was thinking when the cop showed up...
@@ArronPeloquently: duck. With a f😂
Maybe somebody already reported the robber.
У нас в РОССИИ его бы застрелили ( грабителя) в машине сразу
the cop watched the robber get in the car in a hasty manner. The robber didn't sit back in a seat like a standard passenger would; robber was up at the center console for too long.
You have to be a low life to rob an innocent cab driver who's already making minimum wage. Hope he get what he deserves.
He's not.. he's gonna get some softy democrap judge that is going to let him off.
"Reparations"!!

Then he will be out in two months then really hurt someone justice system sucks
@@mybuttsbeenwiped666 Right.
This makes me cry. He’s an older man who wants nothing but to live his life in peace. He’s already working hard as a cab driver. Can’t believe this man.
Same for me my friend. I guess every sob story gets me because I have a lot of compassion
One thing most straight people don't seem to "get": criminals go after the _soft targets:_ older people, disabled people, kids.
The sooner we understand this, the better we can learn to deal with crime.
That’s sweet, Ryan. And yeah, we need to step up-
@@taram9880 it keeps me compassionate
Same. I'm glad there's still good citizens out there.
This is so sickening, this older man was probably trying to make some extra cash because he's probably retired and social security does not pay you enough to live on even after working so many years. It's so so sad, this world has completely gone mad! Lord. Have mercy! Thank God the police showed up when they did!
Awww the fear in his voice. He was almost hyperventilating. 😢😢😢 I'm glad the police were there.
I could feel the fear inside this poor man. He was extremely lucky the cop was right there. Unbelievable.
You mean the robber who was a total dingbat bunny?

@@C-Rey the robber was extremely lucky police were right there. Now he is in jail where he belongs.
@@RideAcrossTheRiver and he prob would’ve been put in jail longer if they weren’t there cause you know…
What ethnicity was the robber?
That poor guy he didn’t deserve that at all. He seemed like such a nice guy.
How would you possibly know that from a short clip?
It wouldn't have mattered if he got shot, did you see the skin color of that robber? If that colored man was harmed in any way the world itself would be on guard attacking the police. It was the cab drivers fault for working obviously.

He wanted go to jail , may be he is homeless
Nobody ever accused them of being intelligent.
How many robbers do you see in the video?
Cop right behind the cab. I had to watch a second time to watch the policeman react. Great police work.
Poor guy sounds like he’s about to have a nervous break down. I’m so glad the cops were there to save him. Bless him.
Right? I feel like if the cop hadn't been there this could have turned out very differently. Guy was terrified to give up his phone because it is his whole life, and has no cash to give. Desperately trying to dig out his wallet from a back pocket, trying to get the guy to leave him alone, and accept that he has nothing. But the dude just keeps threatening him. Jesus.
Sounds like relief to me
@@gregorymyers3886 don't think the guy was terrified of giving away his phone, I think he was terrified because of the gun to his head
Once in a while the police stumble into doing what's right. Only big issue is BLM will bail this person out if they haven't already. It's the sad state of affairs these days.
@Avery Brooks
Prove that BLM will bail him out? You’re talking out of your rear.
Dude robs a guy with a cop behind him.. Intelligence level is over 9000!
@Orange Hat Music, I don't think that dude had a brain to begin with. Why would you risk doing something like that in broad daylight with a cop literally parked right behind the cab driver? Task failed successfully
Right this is what I was thinking from the start
The comment above this is praising the cop for being soo aware, he's be retardedd to miss it
in a hazmat suit?
@@Armany77777 he was trying to make a "clean "get away
Its so sad to see this! The driver looks like a hard working man! So thankful that the cops came! May God bless the driver! And the cops!❤
This was so relieving to watch. That officer deserves a raise for being an angel that day
Wish I got a raise every day I did my job. 🤣
@@RingThatBellyou gotta have a job first bud.
I shed a tear on the way the taxi driver said “you’re a life saver”, he was just an innocent old man who wanted to make some money instead of being threatened for his life
Honestly though, trying to live an honest life and making money by driving people to their destinations. Next thing you know your being threatened to get a bullet in your head if you don't comply. Life could suck some times but this is beautiful.
And he just started so he didn't even make much money yet...

Poor cab driver. I hope he recovered from that. He was so scared for his life. Good thing the cop showed up, but poor man. He was in shock
Pretty sure at the end he says “I think I’m gonna have a heart attack” so sad man! :(
He didnt show up, he was literally behind him the entire time.
@@powerflumi You and I both know he meant “Lucky that the cop was there, alert, paying attention and able to act.”
He didn’t mean the officer and his squad car just materialised out of the aether and the precise right time and place
He didn't show up he was already there lol
He’s ok
We know they are hyper-violent, but no one ever accused them of being smart. Ever.
The relief in the guys voice is palpable - I hope it didn’t effect him too badly long term, it must have been very frightening for him. Hope you’re ok pal 👍
Man I felt so bad for the man that was getting robbed, what a horrific experience

@Kiribati boy 🇰🇮 no one said it was the worsed. Just feel bad
Yeah. Bro seemed absolutely traumatized. Kinda fucked.

Finally a cop in the right place at the right time. How many times have we wished for this moment to happen to people who think they above the law.

I feel so bad for the driver, the fear in his voice was almost unbearable. Thank you to the officer who noticed what was happening.
This is another reason not to tint windows
The way I saw it, the cop didnt know what was happening. He comes up to the car wondering why its not moving when the light turns green. Then, he makes the black man robber get out. Its the driver who tells the cop that he has a gun hidden on his body. Cop was still clueless.

God bless the taxi driver, you can hear the fear in his voice, good job officer 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
“We can MAKE this the easy way, or the hard way” this guy really based his robbery off of 99% of Hollywood movies
dont forget the voice cracks
Lmao right, he definitely wasn’t gonna use the gun
Do u know better bro? Hes prolly really scared
He based it on that episode of Boondocks where the lawyer neighbor is sent to prison and an inmate eagerly seeks to rape him
He was probably scared himself & unfortunately thought robbery was his very last resort in life. You can tell he’s really trying to sound threatening he even says “-if you don’t wanna die” then later one says “I’m not gonna hurt you”. He’s a conflicted man. I hope the cab driver recovers & I hope the thief makes better choices in life.
Thank God that man was saved by the Cop. For once a cop is just where he needed to be - and on time. God has blessed that man.
funny how's there dozens of video like that and dozens of comments that say "for once", what a bunch of hypocrites.

The robber clearly didn't got the rule of "Watch your surroundings."
and the award for dumbest criminal goes to.... seriously picking on the elderly man? in front of cops? is like asking for an intervention in your life.

Maybe they are getting use to cops not doing anything to stop crimes or think they are all defunded ?

Man thats crazy that cop was able to see it happening and act quickly, bless that man
It's also hilarious that the idiot jumped into the guy's car and pulled a gun on him right in front of the police car. What a loser, lol!
He saw nothing. they were apparently stopped for a light, at a certain point you can see cop start to move up when the light presumably turned green but then stop short when the cab in front of him didn't move. after a few more seconds with the cab not moving, (probably only then noticing some potentially odd activity inside the cab) *then* he hits his lights & gets out of his car to walk up to the cab. You can hear him say "What's the problem here?" as he approaches the cab, apparently still not sure why it hasn't moved, but by the time he even finishes the sentence he probably already has a pretty good idea what's up.
@@briangonigal3974 the cop never moved up whatsoever

The cop when up to the window and said get out... He says "don't fkin move, you understand? Do you have a gun on ya?"
So he either saw it, or followed the cab because he thought the guy was suspicious

Nah, he'll never recover fully. He'll be second guessing every passenger that comes in his vehicle, and he'll be watching his back like never before. Every time he sits in the driver's seat to do his job he'll remember the moment he was nearly robbed and possibly killed.
He will definitely just learn to live with it, if anything he probably took leave or left the taxi job altogether. Either way I don't blame him.
I got into a car accident. Was at a red light waiting to turn left when another vehicle making their right went all the way into my lane and hit me head on. Although I walked out with a mild concussion and no broken bones, I was thinking every car on the oncoming lane would veer off and hit me. I'd be sitting in the passenger seat and get flashes of a head on collision scenario. It's been months since the accident and Although I can drive, I still get those flashes of fear every so often. I still hate to be the first car at an intersection, especially if I'm making a left and there is construction because the person who sped right into me happened at an intersection with heavy construction. Pisses me off so much because I don't get why people plow through construction zones like that. For nearly three months I tried to avoid making left turns, I also avoided being first at an intersection. I would slow down enough that I could maybe get someone to overtake me or switch lanes so that I'd be behind someone. I'm still quite shaken up, everytime I get into my vehicle or anyone's vehicle I think of the accident. But at least it's not to the point it affects me ability to focus on the road. I never drive if I'm not 100% committed. If I feel slightly off, I do not get behind the wheel.
You're assuming he continued this job afterwards though
I doubt the robber did much time. I was robbed at gunpoint on 07/01/22. It was all caught on camera in front of a car wash. The guy (age 42) was picked up a week later and went to lockup for 30 days. His mom had posted bail ($25,000) then he disappeared... the bond was forfeited. Again he was picked up on a warrant and mom bailed him out a second time. again the bail was forfeited. There are warrants outstanding. At this point, I know where the guy lives but the detective tells me, the jails are overcrowded. I'm due back in court as a witness (along with two other witnesses) on 07/17/23. I know he'll will be a no show, but that's just the way things are.
Sucks you had to go through that.
What a POS.
In New York that POS would be out in 3 years 🙄😏
Imagine going so low to rob a cab driver who barely earns anything themselves, what a waste of human

Thank God Cab driver is physically unharmed. Thank God for police being at right place at the right time! 🙏🙏🙏
the dislikes are the multiple accounts of the robber
:)
I felt so bad for this man. He could be your grandfather. His voice when he said,"you're a life saver!' that just rips me up. The fear that poor man has to feel for no reason. Thank God that cop was there.
Amen it moved me too
I second that! I could feel that man’s emotion it gave me goose bumps. My older brother is responsible for dozens of armed pharmacy robberies and thinks no one was hurt but big pharma…. That’s how a psychopath thinks…
@@Ty-ek5rq what? Your brother could rob so many pharmacy without being in jail ? How is that possible? US is really a strange place .
@@Ty-ek5rq Did ur brother end up in jail?
@@commander.m1c919 Yes he did do jail time because it was the second time he had robbed 15 or more pharmacy’s within a ten year period . First time he only received probation he played the addiction card very well. Second time the judge didn’t believe him and gave him 2 yrs less a day which keeps it provincial jail time opposed to federal which is any sentence over 2years. In a nut shell the Canadian justice system is a joke. Canada is the place to be if you want to be a criminal they give at-least 2 chances to get good at whatever floats your boat!
The heavy breathing on that poor man. And to hear him tell the cop he’s a life savor was heart breaking.
I don’t think he was a life savor per say…
@@gilsgarageofficial he was to him.
@@andresdelcid6996 exactly!
yeah even the robber felt bad that the guy was freaking out so much, had to reassure him "I'm not going to hurt you"
@@gilsgarageofficial Why try and take away from the cops good work for recognising a situation and acting , the guy had a gun that he could of easily used if the driver tried to fight him
Talk about divine intervention. WOW !
Poor guy, you can hear the distress in his voice.
Poor guy. He seemed like an innocent grandpa just going about life minding his own business
Yeah can’t imagine being caught red handed
@@dangerousko11 who
He wasn't gonna get hurt, just give up the goods and continue to say aight aight aight, ok ok here u go! And live. I just wish cabby had that fire on him when he was going in his back pocket. That's the video I wanna see 🔥
He was a taxi driver
@@wecountingmoneyoverhere2517 so basically get robbed?
"We can do this the easy way, or the hard way." The fact this dude literally sounds like a cliche robber in a comic book 💀
sounds like police to me
The 13/90 club strikes again
Ikr too much movies for this loser
in the movies
Seriously what I was thinking the whole time. Guy has been watching too many movies for this lol
Dude this was awesome I think I'm gonna watch it again a few times.
Guy probably didn't even do a week in jail.
"We could do this the hard way, or we could do this the easy way."
Doing it with a cop car right behind you is *always* going to be the hard way.
LMAO
Best fucking response ever!! Lol
Naah, that would be the easiest way to achieve the end-goal - a free ride to county jail.
That was so fucking lame lmao
I’d like to hear from cop haters now. And see the desperation and insanity of the protected species who did the robbery ? Imagine if he’d started fighting with cops like often happens ? Cops have a bloody dangerous job, it’s often seconds from disaster. That’s why people are stupid to fight or not follow orders. Then when sh*! happens people blame the cops. It’s insane. Look what they have to deal with.
Just watching this now! So glad the cops came on time. 🇨🇦
“It is so disturbing to sit up here and look at the face of a victim for some silly K2 and to see your mother, who works so hard,” the judge said. “She deserves more respect than this.”
Now THAT'S serving and protecting. God bless those officers.
Settle down lol I mean yes good thing the cop was there and I know that they become police officers to put their lives on the line or at least that's what its supposed to be but most police officers just harass people and think they are above the law
Amen!
God had nothing to do with it.
@@squeezeboxer6845 and you felt the need to debate someone's beliefs, why exactly? all he said was "God bless those officers." now go talk to someone who asked.
@@zavage4597 Because it's very childish to talk about imaginary friends in public. Those people need to know that they look like irrational idiots.
My God. That poor man. Here he is just trying to make an honest living. Hearing his voice crack while telling the police what just happened made me cry. Thank God for that police officer.

It’s not the “truth” like you say. You are just racist-
I've watched this several times over the years and it never gets old! 😂😂😂
It takes the cop awhile to catch on but arrested him without incident.
Unbelievable. I am glad that the can driver was alright. It could have ended another way.
That has to be one of the dumbest robbers in history. How can you be out on the street, consciously look for a car to rob, and not see the obvious police car right behind your chosen mark?!
Yeah. I also think i could see the cop car had his flashing lights on as well.
In broad Daylight no less. 😁
@@daryldaryl913 Yeah, you can see his car slightly move forward, but it looks like he made a last minute decision to turn his lights on and surprise the robber. It was a good move, less he wanted to frighten the guy and the scene takes a bad turn.
I expected nothing more from these “people” who have an average IQ of 80
It looks like he was a passenger that had been riding for some time, not someone that just jumped in the car, so he may not have noticed the cop car that got behind them in traffic. It's still stupid to rob someone in broad daylight, stopped in heavy traffic.
Man literally tried to rob someone with a cop car 5 feet behind him
It could be worse. Maybe next time he will try to rob the policemen.

Such a brave cop, the way he completed his job💓
Thank God that police officer was positioned perfectly to save this man's life!
This is what I would worry about most as a cab driver. You never know who's going to get in your car. So glad the police were paying attention.
I'm just glad walter white is ok
happened to my grandpa, he was pistol whipped and retired afterwards.
it's simple if they look like they would be named Darnell or Tyrone, drive away
So glad the robber wasn't paying attention you mean?
The cop was right there from the start.
@@MikeG82 Thanks Mike. You are always proving that tunnel vision is like science to someone like you. Only people of color are robbers huh? The Great Saint Louis Robbery, and all the stories that have been told about parents who are bank robbers and bring their children into it are all people of color right? WRONG! If you could for one day forget your brain runs mostly on two settings, slow and stop, you may be able to Jumpstart a few cells again. That can only happen if you want to stop living with your venomous mind and poisoned heart.
It made me cry when he came out and told the cop that he saved his life.
