Ndiaye Serigne
Serigne says he refused to pull over on a deserted street, and instead drove to a Staten Island gas station and tried to call for help. The video shows two men dressed as Mario and Luigi beating Serigne as other costumed men look on, and he claims the men threatened to kill him. Serigne still has pain in his jaw, but he hasn't shared the news with his wife and three children back in Senegal, telling the Daily News, "I don't want my family to see this because... they're going to be more worried. I'm a little scared, but it's part of my job."
Police have made no arrests in the incident. Cab drivers at yesterday's rally demanded tougher laws against assaults on taxi drivers; hack Zawar Jaffri, who lost an eye after he was maced by a passenger trying to skip out on a fare, told Channel 11, "The public has no fear to do anything against us. They think we are alone. At least if we had a sticker saying a crime against the driver is a felony up to seven years in jail, right next to the passenger bill of rights, they would know that the driver is also equal human being." Assemblyman Rory Lancman (D-Queens) has promised to introduce a bill making it a felony to assault a cab driver.

They had 99 Coins and needed only 1 more for a 1-Up. They had proper cause. He's one of those coin herders.
ha!
So as of right now it's not a felony to beat the crap out of anyone? Woohoo!
I'm sorry but your cab fare is in another castle.
Here I thought Wario and Waluigi were the evil ones.
I'm betting he's Senegalese, not Somali.
Somali cab drivers tend to drive right through the embassy gates before detonating.
Seriously-- they should have the same protection MTA workers are afforded. Just because these guys are hacks and don't have a fucking union backing them up doesn't mean they're not worth as much.
Is it possible to install a distress signal in the cabs? Something to alert police that they are some deep shit?
Thought they already did?
That yellow reflector whatchamajig on the trunk?
The real tradegy of the story is that Luigi is some kind of a folk hero in Senegal.
HAHA. Nice.
John, you said the cabbie was a Somalian immigrant, but then referenced his family back in Senegal.
From the name, he sounds Senegalese not Somali...
White people fail at non-white culture.
and vice versa. you see how long they've been trying to teach jesus to those pesky savages.
That cab driver looks like a business man in an 80s flick-- it is AWESOME.
Yes, Senegal and Somalia both begin with S, but they're on opposite coasts of Africa.
This is a good reason why taxi drivers shouldn't fight against cameras installed inside the cabs. Cameras could make both drivers and passengers safer, depending on the specific circumstances.
of course Mario and Luigi jumped a Goomba
