The Fiumicino State Police has identified a taxi driver guilty of injuries for trivial reasons against an Italian passenger just landed in Rome from Madrid.
The passenger, turning to a taxi driver in regular service at Fiumicino airport, in order to get the taximeter for the race from the Roman airport to the capital, was attacked by the same taxi driver and struck with a violent punch in the face. , which caused the victim to fracture the nasal septum.
The violent scene, taken up by the cameras positioned in the external Arrivals area of the 3 terminal, took place in the face of the total indifference of both the other taxi drivers and the volunteer employees of the "Taxi Service" who are in charge of assisting passengers who require the transport service , and by other people in transit.
From the images the man turns to the taxi driver, who appears immediately visibly irritated, to the point of refusing to load the luggage on the taxi and on more than one occasion rejects one of the baggage. In the current situation, while the discussion between the two is in progress, a taxi service assistant wearing a yellow brother is bringing another customer on board the same car, while the taxi driver goes back to the car. The first traveler, probably annoyed, knocks several times on the rear glass of the taxi to ask the driver for explanations. In the following scene, the infuriated taxi driver descends and quickly walks towards the traveler and punches him with a punch in the face. The attacked at that point falls backwards, while the taxi driver starts driving the car with the other customer on board. The stricken man struggles to get back on his feet. The terrible scene occurs in front of several people who watch, but without intervening.
A few minutes later the man attacked was assisted and medicated in the nearby ADR airport emergency department and then transferred to the CTO hospital in Rome, where he was diagnosed with a broken nasal septum judged curable in 30 days.
