Just out of curiosity……All news reports and I believe your posting state that the driver of the taxi was iniitally assaulted by the “victim” while trying to protect his vehicle/passanger of the incident will he also be charged in this incident?I know the driver broke rule number 2 in the cabbies bible by getting out of the car……but he could probably use a little peace love and understanding no?
