‘We’ll blow you out the f****** water’: Police appeal for information after racist taxi passenger video goes viral

Police have launched an investigation after footage showing a taxi driver being subjected to racial abuse was shared widely online.

Driver Abid Mustafa appears stoic as the white male passenger rants “this is England” and says “we’ll blow you out the f***ing water”.

In the minute-long video filmed in Birmingham, the 39-year-old cabbie warns: ”I will put this on Facebook now buddy, and more people will see you and what you’re saying.”

But the man, who apparently slurred his words during the footage, responds: ”I don’t give a flying f*** mate. Do you really think I give a flying f***?”

The passenger can then be seen leaning towards the driver and saying: ”I’ll tell you what, do you think Pakistan are going to beat the English?”

The driver responds: “We’re not here for a competition, sir.”

But the passenger says: “Well I’ll tell you what about wars, wars?

“We’ll blow you out the f****** water.”

As the man gets out of the taxi, he can he heard saying: “F*** off. F***ing Muslim c***.”

West Midlands Police said: “Lots of people are asking us about this video – we are aware of it and are making inquiries.”
