THE taxi driver, who was filmed stabbing a motorist in a viral video, has broken his silence and said that the reason for the attack was because the motorist called him the K-word.

Footage of the violent attack at the intersection of Canon and Voortrekker Road in Maitland on 26 June went viral last week.

The taxi driver, who is a member of the Cape Amalgamated Taxi Association (CATA), can be seen rukking a 48-year-old victim out of his vehicle.

The taxi driver is then seen getting on top of the man, pulls out an Okapi and then stabs the man.
