He asked his woman passenger to step outside the cab because she was going to vomit, The Mercury reported. “If you mess up the car you will have to pay a cleaning fee,” he told her.  Furious, the passengers told him  she wouldn't pay the fare or the cleaning fee. “They punched me and kicked me many times,” Singh said. 

He was admitted to the Royal Hobart Hospital. Inspector Ian Whish-Wilson said a man and a woman had been charged for assault. PTI
