A drunk man assaulted a taxi driver to take the wheel and even took the driver seat and left the cabbie behind on the highway early Saturday morning after he slammed the cabbie for driving too slow. The man was later arrested in Sai Wan. The incident occurred around 5am Saturday as the cabbie surnamed Lai, 67, picked up the drunk man surnamed Yip, 49, in Yau Ma Tei, who was going to Hing Wah Estate in Chai Wan. Yip then got off the vehicle as well, but took the driver seat and fled the scene, leaving Lai behind on the road. Yip, who failed the alcohol breath test, was then arrested for drunk driving, common assault and taking a vehicle without authority.
