They fight over the fare, then the taxi driver kicks and slaps the tourist, a 33-year-old Canadian. The attack, witnessed by a video released on social media, took place in Florence. The man, a 53-year-old Florentine, is now at the center of disciplinary proceedings by the cooperative to which he belongs, which has already condemned his behavior "without reservation".

On the spot, in via de 'Tornabuoni, around one and a half on the night of 13 January, the police intervened. At the moment it seems that the woman has not indicated her intention to file a complaint and has also refused medical treatment. Later contacted by the agents, she did not want to talk to them.

The taxi driver also adopted the same behavior but will be reported by the police for any assessments of competence on the license to the Municipality.
