A would-be robber in Pennsylvania had some pretty poor timing when he pulled a gun on his taxi driver with a sheriff's deputy behind him, police say. Though the robber tried to get out of the taxi and run as Deputy Terry Ely approached the vehicle, the 18-year-old was arrested and later charged with robbery and terroristic threats. Watch the surveillance video above from inside the cab, obtained by WFMZ-TV, to see the incident unfold. [Additional reporting by The Associated Press]
