An Access-a-Ride cab driver pulled a 78-year-old woman out of a vehicle by her leg in New York City earlier this week, police told NBC News. Video caught the moment the elderly victim tried the fight back by hitting the driver with her cane.
But the drama didn't end there. Police said the witness who was recording the incident on video tried to intervene by confronting the driver — who proceeded to plow into the witness with the cab, NBC News added.
The woman had been in the backseat of the cab — Access-a-Ride serves those with permanent or long-term disabilities — when she got into a dispute over her drop-off location around 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, New York City police told NBC News.
The woman reportedly was on her way to a physical therapy appointment before an argument broke out, and the driver pulled her out and onto the street on East 35th Avenue near the corner of Avenue N in Marine Park in Brooklyn, the New York Post reported.

....Police said both the woman and witness were taken to a hospital, the network reported, adding that the investigation did not lead to an arrest as of Friday morning.
The son of the 78-year-old victim told the Post his mother is “very scared because that guy is still out there. She is sore and has a headache, but she is very scared because the guy hasn’t been arrested yet.”....
I can’t believe the NYPD can’t find this guy, they have a picture and the car license, how much more does it take?
Florida Man moves north.
and they have clear video evidence of his face and build- but alas- they too busy tracking down the dangerous peaceful protesting JaN 6 grandmas to find the guy i guess
Nope, Mohamed man moves west.

“Bish, I’ma smack you with my pimp cane!”
Battery of an elderly person, reckless driving, fleeing a felony - you’re in a heap of trouble, boy!
This week is taxi cab appreciation week.
So to all those taxi cab drivers out there,
I’d appreciate it if you’d take a shower once in a while.

Not sure that is a Florida man move. That one is NYC.
It takes the desire to actually find the guy rather than sit on their asses
Wouldn’t surprise me if the old woman got her wires crossed to start with and then gave the guy a hard time.
So that judtifies his assault?
Justifies
>>I can’t believe the NYPD can’t find this guy, they have a picture and the car license, how much more does it take?
If he had a red MAGA hat on they would have found him by now and charged him as a domestic terrorist.
Seems like pretty terrible PR for them. I wonder if they are cooperating. They know the identity of the driver.
If this happened in Texas, the driver would be likely to be shot my a concealed weapons license holder.
