CHICAGO — A cab driver was robbed at gunpoint by three men in Lakeview Tuesday night, police said.

The stickup happened in the 1100 block of West Oakdale Avenue about 11:20 p.m., said Officer Janel Sedevic, a Chicago Police Department spokeswoman.

The 53-year-old man received a call for a pickup from three men who got into his cab and pulled a gun on him, police said.

They took the cabbie's iPhone and about $300 in cash before taking off, according to police.

No one was in custody Wednesday morning.
