A NYC Taxi experience

Unfortunately I didnt think to record this asshole until the most horrible insults were made to me. This person became irrate when I paid my tab. During my metered fare I asked him to wait for me as I ran in a Bed Bath and Beyond on 65th St to pick up a tray for my Green Room. I left my assistant in the cab whose meter was running. I ran straight to the tray and purchased it. I waited on no line as the store was almost empty.From the time he picked me up at Columbus Circle to the entire time I spent in the store and the time it took to drop me at my final destination of Lincoln Center took only 20min. Keep in mind rush hour traffic and rain storm. I paid with my clients corporate charge card, gave the maximum tip allowed by the automated system. At the very moment that I hit send the driver ripped my receipt and throw it at me landing on the ground and told me to "Get the fuck out of my cab you stupid black bitch" an elderly Jewish woman attempting to get in after me was shocked and appalled. The driver then refused to take her because she was in a wheelchair. I was co producing The Transcendent Man Live Panle discussion with Ray Kurzweil, Deepak Chopra, Dean Kamen, Michiu Kaku and other distinguished inventors and celebrities. I called the police for assistance but they never came and I had a show airing live in less than an hr to focus on so I left the cab with this footage. That same night I received a call to work on a tour out of the country, hopefully the statue of limitations has not passed and I can still see to it that this person is reprimanded for his insulting actions

I wish I recorded him calling me a "Black Bitch" and also when he got out of his seat to try to drag me out of his car. At that point I called 911 and then started recording.

Wow. Good idea to film him.
