    When a resident opened the door, the man punched him several times before stealing cash, a cellphone and some cigarettes.
     
    He then returned to the taxi which dropped him off downtown.
     
    A police search of the area did not locate the suspect.
     
    No word on whether the meter was running the whole time.
