Man films heated exchange with cabbie, uploads it onto YouTube

A CASE of road rage apparently sparked off when a man told a cab driver that he had been parking on the wrong side of the road.

The man, who filmed a video of the heated exchange and later uploaded it onto YouTube and sent it to STOMP, said he had first asked the cabby politely to move his car.

According to the man, the unhappy cabbie then replied with expletives. The dispute escalated from there, and that was when he started to film their argument.

Cisco officers later came to the scene to stop the fight.

The man in the video had threatened several times to call the police to arrest the cab driver. He also asked the cab driver to leave.

Midway through the shouting match, the cab driver began winding up the passenger seat window in a bid to end the quarrel.

The cab finally left when the man had asked Cisco officers to take down his particulars.

The three-and-a-half minute video has since been uploaded by three different users on YouTube.
