Broken English foreshadows face punching

From the New York Daily News:

The prospect of scanning a credit card was apparently enough to enrage a New York City cabbie. A woman who grabbed a ride home from a cab realized she didn't have cash to pay the driver and offered a credit card, which law dictates cabbies are required to accept. The man told his passenger he didn't know how to operate the credit card machine -- to which the woman rightfully and awesomely responded she wasn't paying him if he didn't know how to operate his own equipment. That's when violence erupted.

She got out of the car and the driver, whose identity was not known, stepped in front of Perez and pushed her back into the cab. "I give you a punch in the face!" he told her, Perez said. "And he punched me in the face."


At least the cabbie is a man of his word.
