Cab crashes into restaurant just after rider attacks driver.

Last night, a taxi driver in Perth was viciously assaulted by a passenger while working. The 24-year-old driver was left with serious injuries and is currently recovering in the hospital. The unprovoked attack caused him to lose control of his cab, resulting in a collision with a popular restaurant in Northbridge, the Red Chilli Sichuan Restaurant. The incident occurred in the early hours of Sunday morning, leaving four people injured.

According to police, the driver had picked up four passengers outside Paramount Nightclub around 3:30am. However, as the taxi began to move, one of the passengers suddenly started attacking the driver and damaging the car. The driver lost control of the vehicle and crashed into the nearby restaurant.

The manager of the restaurant, who wished to remain anonymous, shared her shock and surprise at the incident. She stated, "Last night, a car hit our restaurant...and now this morning, I see this accident. It's really surprised me." One person was ejected from the car, while a man and a woman were trapped inside. Fortunately, emergency crews were able to free them within an hour.

The taxi driver suffered serious facial injuries, including multiple fractures, and is currently receiving medical treatment. His employer, 13cabs, expressed their sadness and shock at the assault and urged the public to recognize the dangers that drivers face while on the job.

The restaurant, which was closed at the time of the incident, is now facing the consequences of the crash. The manager shared, "After COVID, running a business is already difficult. This has made things even harder." She also asked for any support from the public in dealing with the situation.

Police are currently investigating the incident, but no one has been charged yet. This unfortunate event serves as a reminder of the dangers and risks that taxi drivers and other service industry workers face while simply doing their jobs.
