Social media users reported an incident in Tashkent where a taxi driver attacked a girl. The story was shared in major Facebook groups.

According to the victim, a delivery was ordered at her workplace via a door-to-door taxi service. However, the driver refused to enter the office and demanded that the client come outside.

When one of the employees stepped out, the driver yelled at her. She was unaware that the delivery had not been paid for and had no money with her. She offered for the driver to come into the office to collect the payment. Instead, he grabbed her arms, shook her violently, twisted her arms, and forcefully took the package.

The girl filed an official complaint. Yandex.Taxi provided a comment:

“We are aware of the situation. Aggressive behavior is unacceptable. The courier has been removed from service orders. We are conducting an internal investigation and are ready to cooperate with law enforcement authorities by providing necessary information upon official request,” the statement said.
