NYPD DAILY BLOTTER

Sergio Barcia, a 34 year old Jamaica cabdriver, was arraigned on charges of rape and unlawful imprisonment.  He picked up a 16 year old girl in his livery cab, pulled over at Liberty Avenue and 142nd Street, climbed into the backseat and proceeded to rape the teen.  The girl fled and called a friend who called 911.  Cops later caught Barcia, and the victim identified him in a lineup.  The suspect is being held on $75,000 bail and faces up to 25 years in jail if convicted.
