VIDEO – One thumb’s down: Hong Kong taxi driver bites passenger’s thumb during fight

According to TomoNews, a Hong Kong cab driver recently bit a passenger’s thumb during a dispute in Kowloon. The passenger had failed to note that the taxi was sitting in a ‘cross-harbour-only’ line, but declined to get out when informed of his mistake. He insisted the taxi take him to Kowloon City anyway, but the cab refused and a fight broke out…and got just a little out of hand! 

The driver reportedly bit the man’s thumb, and a passerby, seeing the commotion, called the police. No word on whether the taxi driver has been apprehended, but the passenger has most definitely been caught red-handed…
