Chilling moment taxi driver threatens to 'break tourist's bones' on dark detour

This is the chilling moment a driver threatened to "break" a YouTuber's bones following a fare dispute. Dustin, from the US, had just arrived in Kolkata, , to explore the city when he was threatened and scammed by a taxi driver.

During the shocking nine-minute video, Dustin had agreed on a set fee with the driver and asked him to take him to the Hotel Great Western in Park Street. However, on arrival, it emerged he had been driven nearly ten miles away in the opposite direction towards a different hotel named The Western in Rajarhat.

In the viral clip, Dustin tells the drive: "I showed you the hotel first, we agreed to this, and then you took me to the wrong hotel."

Dustin had agreed to a £6 taxi fee with the driver but, after being taken to the wrong destination, he refused to pay the total.

"I should've been at the hotel by now, but I'll probably be in this taxi for another 30 minutes", he told his channel.

Despite the threatening taxi driver, Dustin was determined that it would not spoil his view of India. "I've had a great time in India so far.

"This won't make me hate the country, it's just something you deal with in taxis and airports in many places", he added.
