A cab driver was rushed to the hospital in critical condition after being shot on Nelson Avenue between West 168th and 169th streets around 5 p.m. Monday.

Video shot by a witness showed the driver outside his vehicle engaged in an argument with a passenger inside.

Moments later, the passenger gets out of the cab as the driver gets back in, which is when a single gunshot is heard.
