In a disturbing incident in New York City, a 25-year-old Bronx resident, Mame Gueye, allegedly assaulted a taxi driver before stealing his cab and crashing it into a parked car after a joyride. The incident occurred on Monday night at East 23rd Street and Lexington Avenue.
According to the New York Police Department, the altercation began when Gueye's payment card was declined while trying to pay his fare. This led to an argument with the 47-year-old taxi driver, who then asked Gueye to exit the vehicle. Instead of complying, Gueye reportedly pushed the driver to the ground, struck him in the torso, and proceeded to choke him before taking control of the taxi and driving away.
