Who would have thought that not taking queuing etiquette seriously would end up in a violent fight?
Apparently, some people in Hong Kong don’t like the idea of cutting taxi lines. Unfortunately one Japanese man wasn’t aware of this.
The incident happened at a taxi stand on Russell Street in Causeway Bay on Saturday evening. Four tourists from mainland China were waiting for a taxi when a Japanese tourist suddenly cut the taxi queue to get into the cab with his wife and child.
An eyewitness named Ho was able to document the fight on video. Initially, the mainland tourist was seen yelling at the Japanese holidaymaker. The Chinese national eventually pushed him prompting a fight to break out. Seven minutes after the fight started, the police arrived at the scene to arrest them for causing a disturbance.
As a result, the Japanese tourist sustained injuries on his neck and hands, while the mainlander’s glasses got broken.
