Taxi Cab Related Incident of the Month

UPDATE: Here is some more details of this incident from the Korea Times:

Four U.S. soldiers have been arrested for allegedly stealing a taxi and injuring two pedestrians here, police said Saturday. The soldiers, who were only identified as members of the U.S.’ Second Infantry Division, are accused of stealing the taxi at around 2 a.m. Saturday, police officers said.

The incident took place shortly after the U.S. soldiers allegedly physically assaulted a 19-year-old South Korean, who was only identified by his surname Lee, local cable television news channel YTN reported. After the fighting drew attention from passersby, the soldiers tried to flee the scene by flagging a taxi, the report said. However, the taxi’s 25-year-old driver, identified only by his surname Kim, refused to accept them as customers because they were intoxicated, police said.
