At 2 a.m. a Campus Police officer was approached by a student who stated that he and three friends were threatened by a cab driver. The four students took a cab from Reefers Bar in Fells Point back to campus and paid for the ride in advance. When they neared campus the driver requested more money for the ride. The students stated that the meter had not been on during the ride. The students refused to pay more money and the cab driver pulled out a knife. The students then exited the cab at the corner of Coldspring Lane and Millbrook Road. Campus Police was unable to locate the cab driver. No injuries were reported.
