Taxi driver in racist attack on pizza delivery man

A Nigerian taxi driver has been convicted of racially abusing a Pakistani pizza delivery driver in Cork.

The taxi driver denied racism and asked how he could say such a thing when he, too, was a foreigner in a foreign land.

Atif Akbar told Cork District Cork that, on February 12, 2015, when he pulled in to let the taxi driver pass, he thought the driver was going to thank him, but instead the motorist rolled down his window and said: “You fucking Paki, go back to your country.”
