In the second clip, the taxi driver is driving off when the other man reached his arm into the open window, prompting the taxi driver to hit out at him.

The taxi driver then got out of his taxi and threw a punch at the other man, who blocked it with his arm.

The two men proceeded to trade blows with each other, with the other man managing to land a few good jabs on his opponent, causing him to fall backwards onto his taxi.

This continued for several seconds until other men separated the two and tried to calm the taxi driver down.

The original poster (OP), who was contacted by Shin Min Daily News, said that he recorded the video while waiting for a bus.

He surmised that the other man was a lorry driver, and he had been involved in a dispute with the taxi driver even before they stopped their vehicles.

The two drivers were seen arguing only after they had stopped, the witness added.
