This story is kind of what is wrong with society these days. In Adelaide Australia, a cab driver go into a fight with a drunk passenger around midnight. A young man who played the role of Good Samaritan decided to step in and do his part to save the cab driver from getting beat up by the drunk passenger by pinning the drunk passenger to the ground when both the cab driver and the drunken passenger were fighting outside of the driver's side of the cab. The Good Samaritan was able to pin down the drunk passenger so the cab driver could leave safely by driving his cab away from the scene of the fight. The Good Samaritan who does not want to be named decided to step in and save the cab driver since there were no police officers around and the eyewitnesses did not seem to care to save the cab driver from getting beat up. It is most likely that the police will catch the drunken passenger since the incident was caught on camera. Three cheers for the Good Samaritan who decided to assist the cab driver leave a fight scene with his life.

But that's dangerous especially when the trouble maker is armed.

You are correct since there are many crime stories of Good Samaritans getting killed trying to stop a fight.

I know what you mean since one my dream jobs was to be a cab driver before the horror stories of robberies in that line of work made me think twice about it.

I agree with you that the Good Samaritan did do his duty to save the cab driver from being seriously injured in that fight with the drunk passenger.

So many people turn away when there's a skirmish of some sort. Hats off to this Good Samaritan for saving the cab driver from a beating. He took a real chance of getting hurt himself. It's better if 2 or 3 would have banded together to stop the passenger.

You have a good point there that the Good Samaritan could have used some help to subdue the drunk passenger.

I´m sorry these things happen. Drunkards are dangerous even when they are not driving.

It is a shame that a drunk man decided to beat up an innocent cab driver.

That is true since not many people want to intervene in a fight between a drunk person and a cab driver.
