NSW cabbie robbed after dropping off fare

A routine fare has turned into a frightening experience for a taxi driver in western Sydney.

The 71-year-old cabbie had driven two men to a St Marys house on Monday evening.

They went into the house and came out armed with a baseball bat.

The driver fled in his taxi and called the police, but the men allegedly stole his mobile phone and an amount of cash.

A 20-year-old man will appear in court charged with aggravated robbery, while police are still trying to identify the second man.'
