SINGAPORE - Drive before I kill you, the passenger yelled at the cabby when he thought the taxi was taking too long to move off.
The driver, who wanted to be known only as Mr Yang, said that he was
waiting for oncoming vehicles to pass before he could filter out but the
man, a Caucasian, became impatient.
The well-built man then grabbed the cabby's neck in a stranglehold, reported Lianhe Wanbao yesterday.
The man had boarded the ComfortDelGro taxi on Saturday at around
2.30am near the Clarke Quay taxi stand and was heading for Sengkang.
Mr Yang, 54, sounded his horn when he was attacked, hoping someone would come to his aid.
He also managed to lower the window and wave for help, he said.
But no one came, he claimed. Mr Yang managed to free himself from the man's grasp and ran from his taxi.
He got a passer-by to call the police while he tried to catch his breath by the roadside, reported the paper.
The man got out of Mr Yang's taxi and made his way to another cab.
But he suddenly turned around, walked towards Mr Yang and punched him in
his right eye.
