Pedicab and Taxi Brawl Caught On Tape
A pedicab operator and a taxi driver got into a brawl in the middle of traffic on Broadway near Times Square Monday morning. A Fox 5 News crew happened to be there and captured the fight on camera.
Veteran Fox 5 photojournalist Al Daughtry was shooting video for a story Reid Lamberty was reporting about the price of taxi cab medallions.
It isn’t clear what sparked the fight, but the pedicab operator threw a cup of coffee at the cab. The driver of the taxi cab pulled his car into the path of the bike, running into it.
The cab driver came out and the two men threw down right in the middle of the intersection of Broadway and 53rd Street.
Reid Lamberty and a photographer from Entertainment Tonight, who was covering the David Letterman story outside the Ed Sullivan Theater, stepped in to break up the fight.
The two men then continued their verbal assault at each other. The pedicab driver picked up a waste basket and hurled it at the taxi cab driver, missing him but spilling garbage into the street.
The pedicab driver wanted to get away, but the cabbie tried to stop him. The pedicab rode the wrong way on 53rd Street, then up a sidewalk, and down 7th Avenue.
Police responded moments later and interviewed the taxicab driver, but the pedicab operator was gone.

The potty driver, I meant to say petty driver, I meant to say Pedi driver is a criminal. He starts a brawl, then throws coffee on a car, then punches at the window, then flees the scene driving the wrong way in traffic!
When will these stupid bikers realize to drive in the road, one must adhere to a minimum speed limit which is always approximately 10 mph slower than the maximum speed limit.

My opinion is the pedicab kid was a punk and got himself in more trouble than he could deal with
He is a chicken and a loser and would be a thief
The cab driver made a decision to confront the perpetrator of an abusive act and brings home more than money
dumb
they are crazy!!!
taxi
Taxi drivers drive like animals, they beep you if you dont speed or if you stop for a stop sign, they are annoying
