Video showing a New York City taxi driver hauling off and smashing this woman in the face twice.

The woman is seen trying to get a coat from the driver, which seems to be hers. It is not known why he wouldn't give her the coat back, some speculate she didn't want to pay him and he was taking her coat as payback.

Either way, the taxi driver is in the wrong here. You can not assault a woman, even if she is obnoxious. It's better to call the cops and let them handle it.
