A taxi driver in China has been detained for dragging a 19-year-old woman passenger out of his car and dumping her on an expressway following a fierce argument.
The incident went viral on mainland social media after the unidentified woman shared her experience online, the Yangcheng Evening News reported.
“Get out of my car!” the driver was heard to shout in the video clip while dragging the woman out of the vehicle while she screamed: “But this is an expressway.”
The situation unfolded on December 30 when the passenger ordered a taxi to take her from Ji county in Tianjin, northern China, to Tianjin Binhai International Airport.
She asked the driver to pick her up at 10:30am.
However, when the 43-year-old driver, surnamed Li, arrived and called her several times, she told him to wait, saying she was not worried about being late for her flight and she could change her ticket, according to a record of their conversation.
