A knife-wielding cabby tied up and raped a young female passenger in the back seat of his yellow taxi in Brooklyn, police sources said last night.
The 26-year-old victim's nightmare began early Friday after a night of drinking at Public Assembly on North Sixth Street near Kent Avenue in Williamsburg.
After hailing the cab and asking to be taken to her home in Manhattan, the intoxicated victim fell asleep, the sources said.
When she came to, her hands had been bound with a scarf and the driver was raping her.
The cabby then took the victim's
cellphone and $20 and pushed her out of the vehicle at Rodney and South First streets, cops said.

W'BURG HORROR: The victim hailed a cab after leaving this Williamsburg bar, and was bound and raped by the driver matching the police sketch above.
She walked a few blocks and reported the attack to police.
The woman was taken to a hospital where she was treated for facial and hand cuts.
The driver was described as in his early 40s and approximately 5-foot-8, cops said.
A
Taxi and Limousine Commission spokesman said no suspect has been identified, and declined further comment.
A 19-year-old woman in the neighborhood last night was shocked to hear the news.
"It's scary because I usually take cabs here," said the woman, who asked that her name not be published. "I guess I gotta be more careful."
