This is weird. The man falsely accuses a taxi driver of taking his mobile phone, steals the taxi driver's phone, assaults the taxi driver, buys his way out, does not get a conviction, and then says he is sorry. The taxi driver will live in fear that any tourist passenger may assault him If justice is to be served, his residential address should be published so the same treatment can be given to him. I hope that he is banned from ever travelling to any south-east-Asian country again, and that his employer sacks him. Perhaps someone on hot copper recognizes his face?
