BUSHWICK – A 70-year-old livery cab driver was stabbed to death in broad daylight last week in Bushwick, and police have arrested and charged a local man with the murder.

On the morning of Friday, November 23, Otto Ponce-Farfan was exiting his car on Woodbine Street, near Central Avenue, when he was approached by a man who stabbed him three times in the chest and twice in the shoulder, police said.

The attack came around 9:15 in the morning, with police and EMS responding to the scene shortly after. Ponce-Farfan was transported to Elmhurst Hospital and pronounced dead on arrival, police said.

Later that day, police arrested Rafael Fuller, 29, and charged him with murder and criminal possession of a weapon. Fuller, who lives nearby, was well-known to neighborhood residents as someone to avoid, and one described him as “not all there” to [ABC 7.](https://abc7ny.com/70-year-old-lyft-driver-fatally-stabbed-in-brooklyn/4748179/?ref=bklyner.com)

It is unclear whether the two men knew each other, police said.
