Taxi man beat to a pulp in tallaght.

The pink killer

Some poor taxi lad got a awful beating in tallaght last night stole his money and phones, what is going on with these little scumbags attacking taxi and delivery men lately.

That's a shocking beating that poor man got. Fair play to the couple that helped him. Seems to be happening a lot in tallaght lately.

Nasty. But not beaten to "pulp"

Let's not argue over words. They stomped on his head ffs.

The driver's brother, Muhammad Pervaiz, told Dublin Live Usman had a bad feeling when he picked up the men in Saggart, after they made a booking through the MyTaxi app.

I've only used the app once but do you not have to verify who you actually are before you can use the app?

Do you verify yourself when u step in a taxi on the street?

FFS seriously

It'll result in taxis refusing fares to and from certain areas leaving the majority who are decent people stranded.

Little feckers. Hopefully they'll od soon

No it wont

Need to get vigilantes back again. My cousin unfortunately got a really bad hidin the other day while walking over a bridge beside watergate park. Punched and kicked. While on the ground.
I’d be willing to go round and give these little ****s a good few slaps but I’m afraid I’d be on me own as too many in Tallaght look the other way.
It’s not fair on people that this happens too often.

You do yeah, it'll be linked to an email address or phone number.

Of course those can be stolen, the phone may well have been stolen.

You have to provide an email address, contact number and card details to register for an account.
So yes, the app will be able to verify who these scumbags were, and they'll be a lot more identifiable than they would have been if they had just flagged him down on the street. There's a paper trail now.

That'll learn him

Well we are only hearing one side of the story, yes what happened is awful, but were they provoked ?

Provoked into beating the shít out of him, robbing him and sticking the taxi sign through the front windscreen of the car ?


Was it a full moon last night that all these crazies are in here today ?

He asked for his fare he was owed and they bet the living daylights out of him 4 of them.

To be fair to pissartist, the clue to his motives is in the name.

If they planned this attack and robbery in advance, they're unlikely to have used their real names/details for the booking. Lets hope they are that stupid though.

He didn't deserve the beating obviously but there is an elephant in the room no one will mention.

What do you think the other side of the story is? I’m crap at cryptic crosswords.

Here we go, something bad happens and as usual the assumption is made that the attackers must be from Jobstown, because they travelled to Jobstown.

They were picked up in Saggart, not Jobstown. But hey, assume away.

3 mentions of jobstown in the thread, 1st was a poster answering where it happened (not where they're from), the other 2 mentions are your own above.

Deebles McBeebles

Is Jobstown supposed to be ironic or is it just a hilarious coincidence?

No requirement to provide card details unless you want to pay using the card.

Unregistered pay as you go phone and a throwaway gmail account (i.e. scumbag1@gmail.com) are all that's needed.

Unless these knackbags were stupid enough to use a billphone, or a phone registered in their own names, it's unlikely that MyTaxi actually have identifying info on them.

Most likely case is Gardaí can use their common pick-up or drop-off locations combined with description from the victim to catch them.

There are more verification steps involved in using an app than there is in flagging down a taxi on the street.

I'm quite aware there are steps that criminals can take to avoid revealing their identities, but I don't think its an outrageous suggestion that they might be easier to catch based on the fact that they used an app.

The person I was replying to was suggesting it was a preposterous suggestion - it isn't.

Probably as you said phone stolen with app on it, having nicked drivers phones they would likely have 2 new accounts to pull the stunt with as most drivers have the driver and customer app on their phones.

Ilovemycharlie

These scumbags should be euthanized. awful carry on

Ilovemycharlie

All there seems to be around these days is lefties and scumbags, the country is truly ****ed.

Have you ever actually used MyTaxi?

There's no requirement to register a debit or credit card unless you select the card payment option. You've originally claimed it's required - it isn't.

If you choose to make cash bookings then you can still use the app without one

What's with the patronising tone?
Its actually called FreeNow, the name has changed. I use it regularly.
When I signed up for my account several years ago card details were required. Maybe they aren't any more, hence I made no mention of it in my reply to you and didn't dispute the fact. I'll take your word for it.
But the point I was actually making remains.

They are more identifiable because they used the app than they would have been if they had flagged him down on the street. That's all I'm saying. Go argue about credit cards with someone else.

Deebles McBeebles

Definitely not required now anyway Susie, only started using it recently myself and you have a choice to enter card details or not.

BTW why the hell do they keep changing the name?

im sure the usual heads will be along to defend tallaght any time soon now.

Jobstown is an absolute kip , it is one of the roughest areas in dublin and you couldn't pay me to live there. Every day its another story about some innocent person doing their job and having to pay a violent price for such.
