Taxi driver attacked with samurai sword

vienna - An Austrian taxi driver was injured when angry passengers attacked him with a samurai sword. According to the police, the men refused to pay the fare and apparently got into anger when they were told they had to get out.

The two passengers aged 52 and 62 were pretty drunk when they boarded in Gleisdorf, in the province of Styria. During the ride there was an exchange with the 46-year-old driver, who stopped the taxi to take the men out of the vehicle. That did not go down well with his drunken customers.
