In Ankara, another attack has been added to the assaults on drivers of the passenger transport platform "Martı Tag." A taxi driver, who threatened the driver of a Martı Tag vehicle while posing as a customer, was caught and taken into custody, while the moments of the attack were captured on camera.
The tensions between the taxi driver and the Martı TAG driver in Ankara continue to escalate. Recently, moments when four taxi drivers assaulted a Martı TAG driver were captured on security cameras. While the repercussions of this incident are still being felt, another similar video has circulated on social media.
"I CAN GIVE YOU EVERYTHING," HE SAID, BUT...
In the footage, the taxi driver is seen behaving like a customer and threatening the driver of the vehicle called via the Martı TAG application. Despite the young driver's pleas of "Brother, I'm sorry, I have a lot of debt, I can give you everything," the taxi driver forcibly detained the young driver. The moments when the taxi driver insulted the driver were also recorded by the cameras.
"IF YOU HAVE A GRAIN OF COURAGE, ATTACK ME"
The founder of Martı, Oğuz Alper Öktem, made a statement on his social media account following the incident. Öktem said, "They are not afraid of justice. They have gone completely wild. Their eyes have turned. If we don't hold you accountable for that child, we are not men. We will go to court after court to ensure you spend decades in prison. Now I am coming to Ankara. I will drive TAG myself. If you have a grain of courage, attack me," he said.
