British troops beat up taxi driver!

Postby Markos » Sat Mar 24, 2007 12:19 am

Did anyone see this on the TV news last night (23 March)?
I caught a glimpse of a report on Sigma. Some squaddies
hailed a cab after going on the piss in the Germasogeia area.
They hit the driver following some disagreement over the fare.
I think the incident happened on Thursday night.
(Don't expect the Cyprus Mail to come up with a story on this.)

Sorry but thats just wrong no matter how you look at it. Even if it was a bit on the pricey side you have to expect things like that when you're on holiday or living in a place like Cyprus.

If he really was taking the piss then they should of at least just refused to pay him so much and walked off. Not beat him up. :roll:

They arrested them today. The soldiers were on leave from either Iraq or Afghanistan. I guess they get away with that sort of behaviour there and it slipped their minds that they had returned to civilisation.
