A resident of Nizhny Novgorod spoke about an aggressive taxi driver whom she was unlucky enough to meet on New Year’s Eve.

As follows from the victim’s story and a video shot on her phone, she was driving with her friend. During the trip, the passengers decided to change the final destination of the route, but the taxi driver did not like this, since the cost of the order had decreased. The driver refused to go further and demanded that the passengers leave the car, but they wanted to continue the trip. As a result, the taxi driver stopped the car and forcibly threw one of the girls onto the road.

The story spread through local public pages and the media and eventually attracted the interest of law enforcement agencies. Soon, a video of a taxi driver apologizing appeared on social networks. According to a number of reports, the man is a native of another country and will now be deported — he was in the Russian Federation and worked illegally. He will soon leave the country.
