Posted on Youtube by SA Crime Watch Forum - it is alleged that a taxi driver from Sunninghill in Johannesburg assaulted a woman apparently because her phone rang in the taxi. 


The video shows a verbal spat between the pair followed by the driver's attempt to remove the female passenger from the vehicle. 


The video has also been shared on the Facebook page - Taxi Drivers & Other Sad Stories. 


A comment posted by Claudia Pienaar on the page read: "This taxi was from town to Sunninghill and the same guy who took a video eventually got involved to help the lady. He was taking a video as evidence, they later opened a case and God knows what happened after. 


"The lady is over this incident, it's been a year and a half since it happened and she's doing well. Moral of the story: No one has right to assault anyone!"
