Amsterdam taxi war costs lives now

A 44 year old customer got killed by a fist in his face by a 37 year old taxi driver. He fell to the ground and was pronounced dead right away. This incident is the fatal low-point problems at taxi stands like Leidseplein and Central Station for years. Taxi drivers don’t wait for their turn and steal other taxi driver’s customers. The often foreign tourists get screwed over by mostly Moroccan taxi drivers that refuse short drives or ask ridiculous prices for it. I have had the same problem with my boyfriend sometimes. We talk English while getting in the cab and the driver(Moroccan) asks for a ludicrous price for a  short drive or we have been refused as well. During this incident the customer wanted to go to a place 10/15 minutes outside of Amsterdam in the middle of the night and the driver asked for 50 !! Euros. The customer made a fuck you sign and then the driver stormed towards him and punched the guy. Hope the local government is really gone do something about this right away.
