December 07, 2019A violent punch in the face only for having asked for the application of the taximeter. It is the incredible mishap touched at the "Leonardo da Vinci" airport to a passenger just landed in the capital from Madrid. The taxi driver was identified by the State Police and charged with injuries for trivial reasons: the victim, assisted and medicated in Adr's first aid station and then transferred to the Cto hospital in Rome, suffered a nasal septum fracture judged curable in 30 days.

Everything was consumed within a few minutes. The passenger, turning to a regular taxi driver, only for having asked for the meter to be applied for a ride from the airport to the capital, was attacked: the violent scene, recorded by the cameras positioned in the external Arrivals area of ​​terminal 3, it took place in the total indifference of both the other taxi drivers and the volunteer employees of the "Taxi Service" who are in charge of assisting passengers who require the transport service, and of other people in transit.

In the video appears the man who turns to the taxi driver, who appears immediately visibly irritated, to the point of refusing to load the luggage: while the discussion between the two is in progress, a taxi service assistant wearing a yellow sibling does get another customer on board the same car, while the taxi driver goes back to driving. The first traveler, annoyed, knocks several times on the rear window of the car to ask for explanations and the infuriated taxi driver goes down and quickly, goes to meet him and hits him with a fist in the face. The man falls backwards while the driver starts driving the car with the other customer on board.
