THANK GOD IT WAS CAUGHT ON CAMERA, THAT THE GUY WAS IN THE RIGHT PLACE @ THE RIGHT TIME.
HOWEVER, THE FACT NO CHARGES HAVE YET BEEN BROUGHT IS DISCOURAGING. IT'S ON CAMERA WHAT FURTHER EVIDENCE DO THE COPS NEED?
I DON'T CARE WHAT MAY HAVE LED UP TO THAT FREAK TREATING THIS ELDERLY LADY IN SU H A DISCUSTING WAY IS ABHORRENT & SHE NEEDS JUSTICE TO BE SERVED.
IF HE HAD BEEN TREATED THAT WAY OR HIS OWN MOTHER, THERE'S NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT HE'D BE SCREAMING FROM THE ROOFTOPS FOR JUSTICE.
PLEASE KEEP US UP TO DATE WITH THIS SO WE CAN FOLLOW ON WITH WHAT HAPPENS.
I WOULD HATE TO SEE IT GET BRUSHED UNDER THE CARPET. (SO TO SPEAK)
The driver's name is Mohammed: another win for the religion of peace.
I bet he did it in part because she is Jewish. I bet she got a hint demanding with him and he lost it because of his beliefs. Entitlement on one hand perhaps and certainly tunnel vision and complete lack of respect or compassion on the other. . . I only think the lady may have been a hint rude and entitled with the driver because she yelled and scoffed the guy who came to her rescue after he asked her if she was ok.
No surprise here. It's NY the home of free criminals.
His car. Who knows what she was doing or saying. The elderly sometimes need to shut up. I am 59. So deal with it
I personally would've slept dude then called the police
Is that called elderly abuse??????? That's a crime correct
He gently removed her out his car because she wouldn't get out. She was an adult throwing a temper tantrum. He didn't hurt her , he removed her from his car he makes money with. Her not getting out takes his time . Thats time money he uses to make a living . Why would her being elderly matter. Society loved to complain about anything .
Mohammad the messenger of peace!
These are the people we should be beating instead of each other!
Disgusting
Would like to know what transpired in that car between driver and lady to provoke this.
Isn’t immigration great!
She didn't get thrown out the cab for nothing..he probably got tired of her white privileged stupid rude comments
Wow!#MAGA… huh?
Imagine if this had happened in China … the western media would play the video 24/7 for a week and claim that the CPC are responsible for the driver's actions.
I don’t know what getting in front of the car was going to solve??? You had his car and tag number on camera and she was no longer in danger.
Aww 🙁 😞 I'm a senior caregiver this is going to brake her bones and ❤️ heart 🙁 so sad
No surprised it is New York
You never hurt or disrespect the elderly, women, and children!!!! Never!
That’s what CULTURE DIFFERENCES SHIMMER 😮
most the tlc is yellow cab brotherhood meaning savages the savage…that the fact…don't like what i said then GFYM…be real ignorant
She hit him with the cane she’s probably abused granny anyway 😂😂
This man needs to be sued then locked up .
Joe Biden approves this driver.
He needs to be in prison not just license suspended. what a jerk.
Glad he got what he deserved,
No more domestic terrorism against the United States or any of its citizens. Boycott the entire republican party in the upcoming midterm elections.
He better go to prison for life! America is out of hand we need to make America great again
The driver was thinking right. He pulled over to an open area in order to not block the traffic.
That's what she gets
it's new york — they can get off murder charges now thanks to the dummycraps.
What's all the fuss? This is New York.
I’m thinking this is part of the ‘New Normal,’ shame on us for allowing this mentality to gain foot hold in Our America. Shame on us.
This driver needs to go to Jail. Lack of respect for the Elderly is gaining. It’s part of Socialism/Communism.
Several people at an assisted living complex in California were given a liquid detergent for juice. And another fatality at another of the same business after a man ate something and died. Highly concerning. Are our elderly being targeted by the same business? Hmm…I wonder?
Dragging grams out the car like a rag doll …. …you're gonna have to run 🏃♀️ me over … …fella said ok here u go
This "cab driver" should be sued out of commission, if the "justice" system in NYC does zero. His license to drive should be removed as well as his commercial license. He's not fit to be a driver of any kind.
Omg! I take my parents to all they appointments & I see alot of elderly by themselves. In my mind I want to help them but the world is so dangerous you don't know what u might get out of being kind, folks are so mean.
It a liberal city…… What do you expect
Shoulda fkd him up
Your first reaction shouldn’t be your camera if you can physically do something. Yes the cameras help but there have been so many situations where people have just watched when something as simple as someone stepping in could’ve made a difference right then and there instead of catching them later.
You thank soros & obammy's boy joe biden! Go listen to his speech! These communists in local, state and federal offices need to be removed immediately!
I wonder what she did to make the driver so angry?
This is unacceptable. The driver must be held accountable accordingly. The good Samaritan got what was coming to him for stepping in front of the car with a lunatic behind the wheel.
Suspending his license is not nearly enough.
This dude is a trainwreck waiting to happen,
I could see he had issues that go beyond this.
Of course you shouldn't harm elderly…the video starts at an interesting time. There's two sides to every story. It seems overly entitled women of all ages are being treated with the equal rights that have been fought to have.
