I really think like the cab driver tried to be gentle with the old lady
“ obviously in hindsight, it wasn’t a good idea “ 😂 Mohammed is deep 💩
G I can only imagine how this guy treats his mother or grandmother assuming any of them are still alive I hope not because they would die right now if they saw what he did to this woman what a POS !
A real man would have handled him right there. But real men don't exist too much anymore.
People like this man are everywhere and we all know it. They can be found in all aspects of life. Its what to do with them when they go to far or are exposed that matters. I hope the justice system is up to this dreadful double assault. Thankfully the man who recorded it was there, god only knows what he may have prevented.
She got him with that cane tho lol
Another gig worker loser
He should have been arrested 😊
Thank you to whoever caught that cruel assault on camera
Okay. I am NOT advocating what he did, and I TOTALLY oppose the way he treated this situation and he should be arrested, but why is no one asking HOW this got to this level? What did SHE do? Old people are NOT nice sometimes!
Iam on the driver side here, because he may be rude but it is within his right. U have the right to deny a service and u dont run in front of a car when its rolling
Person recording had a death wish. Would of been funny if he actually got ran over.
He from the peaceful religion. He doesn't take crap
He said he had to run over him so the driver did. But still… Wtf!
Abuser
Gosh it may be just a little presumptuous to say this but I think that man was trying to kidnap that woman, Human trafficking is on the rise and it was mentioned that he went by the place where he was supposed to stop
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ok. This animal attacked this poor woman. Death penalty! Thank you to this young man who tried to help!
Eldery ppl are mean and mental issues, dementia, how are ppl supposed to deal with those crazy old ppl?! They're very abusive to regular ppl.
😢
If the lady doesn't want to leave you can them police you don't drag them out
Assault and battery charges against that driver, look appropriate to me.
Hope he loses his job and is fined and put in jail not acceptable..everyone is under so much stress..he is not the only one. I WILL PRAY and pray for him to be fined!!°!! Just sickening…
There's two sides to every story, like the guy in a Lambo who got rear ended by a lady driving an Audi, every post initially labelled her as unhinged, then the full picture came out and told a very different story.
THAT MAN IS REALLY A COWARD.WHAT A SHAME.
Everybody is so emotional over this. I want to know what caused this. What happened between this lady and the driver that pushed him over the edge? Too bad he doesn't have cameras. People don't think that an old lady can assault anyone. Let's get the whole story people. For example, If I'm driving and some old person just star hitting me with their cane or an object, I'll probably put them out also. I'm just saying. Be open minded. Get the full story…
Does anyone know what happened prior that led the driver to physically escort the elder woman out of his car?
"You're gonna have to run me ov.. woh, WOOH!!" I mean, come on can he really be surprised that happened? 😂 He asked for it, yet he seemed surprised when the guy actually did it. He literally just witnessed him aggressively toss an elderly lady out of his car without explanation, you'd have to expect him to not be afraid to run people over too.
You got the face and the license plate, as far as NY law goes, thats about all you guys can do up there in these scenarios. I dont know why you would go the extra mile to attempt to stop a 2ton machine with your meaty body.
Allow more middle East refugees
They will make America great again
"Your gonna have to run over me"
Runs him over
Lol
That driver is so messed up doing that to this woman, what was it going to take him a few seconds to back up to where she wanted to go? I hope nobody ever treats his mom that way? On a side note to the other guy never get in front of a New Yorker and dare them to run you over, THEY WILL!
NEVER EVER STAND IN FRONT OF A VEHICLE. IT IS STUPID.
-you're gonna have to run over me
-bet
Put him in jail that’s elderly abuse and he should be punished at the high extent of the law you don’t do that to all people I could’ve been anybody’s mother put him in jail that’s where he belonged Yeah why hasn’t he been arrested this is terrible
Thank you to the young man that helped her God bless you
