THREE TEENS awaiting trial on charges that they attacked a cabbie and his passenger in Center City last month were denied release from the Youth Study Center by a judge yesterday.
The trio, charged with aggravated assault and related offenses, allegedly attacked the victims at 15th and Chestnut streets about 8:30 p.m. on Jan. 28.
The prosecutor was granted a continuance for more time to interview witnesses and review video surveillance and police-radio tapes.
Defense attorneys for the three youths asked that their clients be released from the Youth Study Center, noting that they had no prior contact with the law and had family members present in court.
