Licensing
Cab driver found to have assaulted a passenger, license revocation recommended.
The Taxi & Limousine Commission proved that a taxicab driver physically
assaulted a passenger. Security videos taken by cameras installed outside
a restaurant showed a lengthy struggle between the two men that ended
with the cab driver throwing the passenger from the vehicle into the street.
Noting that even drunken and destructive behavior by the passenger, as
claimed by the driver, would not mitigate the physical assault meted out
by the driver, ALJ Richard recommended revocation of the driver's
hack license.
