VIDEO: Petrol station scuffle caught on camera
A scuffle reportedly broke out between a young man, a taxi driver and some of his passengers following a disagreement over a petrol pump at petrol station in Witpoortjie, on the West Rand.
A female motorist felt the taxi ‘stole’ her rightful spot at the Total petrol station and first, a war of words between her, her male passenger and the taxi driver broke out yesterday.
According to bystanders, the passanger then called the taxi driver using a racist term and proceeded to get out of the vehicle with what looked like a piece of a hosepipe, Roodepoort Record reported.
