    Yesterday 2oceansvibe broke the horrific story of a taxi driver’s near-lethal bout of road rage.

    The video, showing a taxi driver repeatedly ramming and running over a pedestrian, before kicking him to the ground, has since gone viral.

    Today, 2oceansvibe ascertained from Brent Oil’s spokesperson that the incident took place at this location.

    Yusuf Abramjee, Head of News and Current Affairs at Primedia Broadcasting, and chairperson of the National Press Club, told 2ov that the taxi driver has been arrested on Saturday afternoon already.

    “It happened on Friday. The driver was arrested on Saturday. The victim is a homeless man who has not opened a charge. It happened in Bloemfontein outside a filling station. When I was alerted yesterday about this, Lead SA alerted the Ministry of Transport who got the The Road Traffic Management Corporation to also probe it. I’ve just been told by the National Prosecuting Authority they are also following up to see the status of the case. The worrying part is the Public who stand alongside doing nothing. That’s why the Lead SA philosophy of creating an active civic society is what we need.”

      im with the taxi driver… those punks cross the street wherver they want and slow down on purpose when they see you coming. lekker.

    • http://URL Jay

      Excellent news. Hope this prick get’s 17 months like that bus driver got recently from the UK! Keep us posted chaps…

    • http://URL Bundu

      David, I’m holding thumbs that you will be the taxi’s next victim – Phew, scumbags!

    • http://URL Katies

      Why are homeless people still walking our streets? Lock them up and make them build roads!

    • Jono

      David, Katies – WTF? Who are you people..? Hopefully you’re the next ones to get mowed down..

    • http://URL Mike

      Out of interest, according to this guy’s suggestion of an active society – if someone DID try to help the guy by klapping the taxi driver, wouldn’t he then be liable? The rumours I’ve heard that retaliating against robbers and the such, and then the guy who was being ROBBED or something, gets nailed by the police afterwards. Similarly, trying to help someone and accidentally causing more damage can land the ‘good samaritan’ in hot water sometimes. What’s the law with the proposed ‘active society’. (Keep in mind, ‘active society’ also involves people striking and looting – that’s being very active.)

      @ David & Katies…..WTF man! I wish I knew who you were becuase no matter who are I would cherish the day to mow you down and smash your face in for your ignorant and arrogant comment! You dont drive over someone because he is slow to cross the street you twat!

    • http://URL Jacob

      @ David ….and Katies! I hope you 2 get mowed down and your face smashed it for your ignorant and arrogant commnet you twat!

    • http://URL Jacob

      @ David ….and Katies! I hope you 2 get mowed down and your face smashed it for your ignorant and arrogant commnet you twat!

    • http://URL Lourence

      David, Katies, i really hope you are next! You guys are sick!!!

    • http://URL Axe

      @david and katies, I’m certain that if it was a white person that was run over and kicked in the face by the taxi driver you would’ve been singing a different tune…

      Katies and David

      I’m just shaking my head – sad that people like you 2 even exist.

    • http://URL Mike

      I really hope 2OVFM does a story on David and Katies and exposes them for the clear idiots they really are! It is people like you that give this country a kak name!

    • http://URL Gspot

      David is right on the part that these punks will purposely walk in front of you, make you slam on brakes & carry on walking in complete arrogance. Yes, it tends to p### a person off, but he DOES NOT deserve to be run over & the taxi driver deserves a harsh punishment for that. A simple customary Gauteng middle finger to the pedestrian would have been sufficient.

    • http://URL Jan

      I am a white afrikaans boer and even my heart breaks for that poor guy. David and Katies are probably pulling the piss but those types of people should get locked up. I just want to bliksem that taxi driver and help the poor guy up. There is no humanity left in this country, and people are just standing by and watching. Its really is sad.

    • http://URL Leslie Rabie

      Hi…
      To the engen staff who stood watching and not helping.. DISGRACE! welcome to the new south africa.. eveybody for himself. Where is out human respect for each other?

    • http://URL Tebele

      LOL at David and Katies!!!

      You guys are right!!! maybe right wing, but definitely right! Good kick :D

    • missy

      It cannot be justified what the taxi driver did.It is really shocking that we have idiots who think less of the next person because they are poor.He attacked a helpless man because he felt powerful but in actual fact he is dumb as a dodo.David and Katies clearly have no remourse.It has nothing 2 do with colour but humanity.Everything in this country is so colour coded and its ignorant idiots who make it that way.

    • shad

      David I wish to know u and wish the guy to recover.. The same behavior u saw is the cause of the accident in the road so think david u can be the next victim..worse than dat.

    • http://URL christen

      it was a homeless guy yes,, but let me tell everyone,, it takes 3 months for you not to pay your home loan and u could also be homeless, no one knows his circumstances and as for that taxi driver, i hope you rot in jail..
      again yes,, if it was a white guy he would be up for attempted murder, there are a lot of things around this taxi driver thing,,

      the guy who said the homeless guy was a scumbag,, hun,, u 2 could be homeless,,,

      i pray that the guy recovers and stands up to the taxi driver and sues the pants off him..
