A NYC taxi driver was caught on camera hurling vile antisemitic slurs at a Jewish passenger in lower Manhattan — and now the city is moving to permanently strip him of his license, The Post has learned.
“You guys look for trouble, yes, you are a f–king Jew!” the enraged driver shouts in the disturbing video, which was posted Tuesday by the Anti-Jew Hate Organization on their Jew Hate Database Instagram account.
The clip, which has racked up more than 5,500 likes, shows the driver exploding at the customer in what the post claims was a targeted outburst in Tribeca after the cabbie ignored directions and hiked up the fare.
“You realize you just lost your license, right?” the passenger calmly replies.
The driver, still fuming, shoots back: “No, you are going to lose your own license.”
“This wasn’t about a wrong turn — it was targeted Jew hatred,” the account wrote in the caption, urging viewers to report the driver. “Jewish New Yorkers deserve safety and dignity on every ride.”
City officials said they’ve already taken action.
“Hate has no place on our roads and is totally unacceptable,” Taxi & Limousine Commission Commissioner David Do told The Post. “As soon as we learned about this disturbing incident, we worked to identify the driver. Our Prosecution Unit will be seeking to permanently revoke his TLC license.”
The TLC said it immediately reached out to the original poster of the video and worked with them on the investigation.
They said they take reports of driver misconduct seriously, and all instances should be reported to 311 or 911 immediately.
A 311 complaint is required to open an investigation, they added.
The Jewish victim has not been identified. The Jew Hate Database account did not respond to a request for comment.
The outburst was widely condemned in the comments, with one rabbi commenting, “He’s about to be famous in a very bad way,” and another user demanding, “Take his license.”
The NYC Taxi Instagram account also commented on the post, saying, “Thank you for bringing our attention to this. Please check your DMs. We sent a message to get more information so we can investigate.”
This is just the latest ugly incident in a string of antisemitic assaults in the Big Apple.
In April, a Brooklyn woman was arrested for allegedly scrawling a swastika and the word “Nazi” on a brick and leaving it on the bumper of a Tesla Cybertruck parked outside a yeshiva in Kensington.
That same month, NYPD data revealed that more than half of all hate crimes recorded citywide in March were antisemitic — with 31 of the 57 confirmed incidents targeting Jews.
