The taxi driver received a parking fine. Then he became so upset that he pushed the parking attendant. Then he jumped into the taxi, started it, and turned towards the same parking attendant, who was lightly hit by the car.
The incident occurred in Skellefteå, reports P4 Västerbotten. Skellefteå municipality has now reported the incident to the Work Environment Authority. The police have also filed a report on violence against a civil servant.
The taxi in question was standing on a pedestrian and cycle path in central Skellefteå when the parking attendant began writing the fine. Then the taxi driver came and claimed that he had only made a quick errand and therefore should not be fined.
According to the report, the taxi driver, after driving into the parking attendant, continued at high speed towards a pedestrian crossing where "several people" allegedly came close to being hit.
