Taxi driver abused by woman who refused to pay her fare

Taxi driver abused by woman who refused to pay her fare

Categories: Latest News

Tuesday December 20 2016

The Mirror and Daily Mail both report on video footage published on LiveLeak last week which purportedly shows a Muslim taxi driver being abused by a woman who refused to pay her fare for a journey.

The woman, who was travelling with a friend, told the driver to “Go back to your own f****** country” when he asked for payment for the trip.

The woman and her friend got out of the taxi and when pursued by the driver for the money owed to him said: “you’re never going to get any money from us.”

The driver filmed the women to “name and shame” them but the woman retorted with a claim the driver had “tried hitting us.”

The driver told the woman to repeat her racist slur, “Go back to your own f****** country,” but she then says “I didn’t say that.”

The driver called the women “tramps” for failing to pay their fare but the woman merely responded by telling him “you’re a f****** taxi driver, get a proper job.”

It is not known if the footage has been sent to the police or a hate crime report logged. It is not certain where the incident took place. The Mirror states the incident was “apparently filmed “on a housing estate in the south of England”.
