SINGAPORE - Police have arrested a 30-year-old Korean man, who lost his temper and beat up a taxi driver until he was unconscious, yesterday morning.

 

The man, who was upset by a broken door handle, had also yelled at the driver for driving a "lousy car".

 

The 48-year-old driver was taken to the hospital after his encounter with the irrate customer outside a hotel in Pasir Panjang.

 

In an interview with Shin Min Daily News, the injured driver said that he had picked up the passenger after receiving a telephone booking.

 

He said that the passenger, who spoke fluent English, shouted at him to drive to the airport, and threw his luggages into the car boot.

 

Although the driver tried to coax him, the angry passenger refused to calm down, even breaking a door handle by forcefully pulling open the door.

 

When this happened, the driver decided to call the police as the man's behaviour seemed unstable.

 

When the man saw the driver step out of the taxi, he demanded to know why he was not taking him to the airport. Just then, the fired-up man also discovered the taxi driver trying to snap a photograph of him.

 

It was then that the angered man charged at the taxi driver, knocked off his spectacles and punched him repeatedly on his head and back.

 

According to Shin Min Daily News, the taxi driver blacked out but soon regained consciousness.

 

When the passenger saw the taxi driver standing up, he ran up towards him and started to attack him again until he begged for the man to stop.

 

The police arrived just as the man was trying to retrieve his bags from the car boot.

 

Comfort Delgro spokesperson told Shin Min Daily News that the taxi driver did not provoke the passenger. The company would help the driver with medical bills and work with the police for investigations.

The same thing happened in Taiwan when Makiyo and her Jap hooligan boyfriend beat up a cabbie.

The whole media and nation was up in arms.

 

The 2 idiots eventually have to kneel down and begged for mercy and kio tolong.

 

Somehow in SG, we tend to be a bit indifference when a fellow Singaporean got beaten up by a foreigner in our own soil.

Has singaporean become 东南亚病夫？

That's also why comfortdelgro say they will foot the medical bill. They won't even ask that man for compensation.

Taxi driver must be a regular stomper, like to take picture.

 

I dunno why ppl always like to take picture/video which will result into an escalation on the situation. Like this one.

 

One can only take picture/video of the other party provided he/she is a sgporean.

 

To be honest I will also whack whoever tries to take a picture of me. IMO only cowards do that coz they dun have the guts to do a confrontation and become a keyboard hero later by posting the picture in stomp or forums.

Stompers are keyboard heros but I think this cabby is trying to snap a picture of the person who broke the handle of his taxi as evident.

I won't be surprised if the police would just give the korean a warning and ask him to pay some money to the taxi driver.

 

Just like the undergraduate who attacked four police officers after having too much to drink has been sentenced to 15 months of probation and ordered to perform 100 hours of community service. nia
