An Asian man has been sentenced to three months behind bars, followed by deportation, for attacking a taxi driver after refusing to pay the transportation fee of BD3. The defendant reportedly got drunk while in Gudaibiya and then hailed the taxi to get back home.
The pair agreed on BD3, and the defendant asked the driver “you want money?” before disembarking the car and attacking him. “I saw him raising his hand looking for a taxi.
And I offered him my service,” the taxi driver told prosecutors.
“When we arrived he asked me if I wanted to get paid and I answered yes.
He then left the car and attacked me,” the driver added.
According to the medical reports attached to the case, the defendant broke one of the driver’s fingers and caused him several injuries before leaving the scene.
As a result, the defendant was held guilty of attacking the driver.
