At one point, a Y-plate driver approached the group and started speaking to them himself.

The white taxi asked the other man what was he doing, pointing out that the tourists were speaking to him.

In reply, the Y-plate driver punched the man in his nose and escaped.

The eyewitness said the white taxi driver had to be hospitalised.

The police on Wednesday confirmed the incident and said they were investigating and working to identify the alleged aggressor.
