According to a witness, the incident took place at around 4 to 5pm.

In the first clip, a man in a grey shirt and a taxi driver are seen standing by the taxi, appearing increasingly agitated. The man in grey then walked towards a lorry parked in front of the taxi, while the taxi driver returned to his vehicle.
In the second clip, the taxi driver had begun moving his cab when the man in grey allegedly reached through the car window and struck him. The taxi driver got out of the vehicle, and the two exchanged multiple punches.
