THAILAND - Bang Sue police are seeking a taxi driver who allegedly shot and wounded a drunk passenger who was about to vomit in his vehicle, after an online post carrying details of the incident went viral on a social media network.
A photo and messages posted on Instagram early yesterday showed a man who had been hospitalised after being shot, reportedly by a taxi driver who had thrown him out of his car on Samsen Road after the passenger appeared to be about to vomit.
The two reportedly got into a fistfight, after which the taxi driver took a gun from the taxi and shot the man in the chest before fleeing.
In another incident last Thursday that was made public yesterday on Facebook, a taxi driver flashed a pistol after telling four passengers to get out after one of them asked him to turn up the air-conditioner.
The passengers hailed the taxi at Bangkok's Mengjai intersection and asked to be taken to Phaholyothin Road.
A woman who was among the passengers said on Facebook that after being told to get out, one passenger asked a fellow passenger to take pictures of the taxi as evidence to be used later in filing a complaint against the driver. The photo was widely shared on the social networking site.
After the passenger took the picture, the driver approached them and flashed a pistol, saying, "Go ahead and complain - I’m not worried," she said on Facebook
