The taxi sector in Irun has reported a "brutal attack" on the night of April 4. The facts have now been reported and there has been an increase in violence in the sector. The attack took place on Pikoketa Street.

When the driver came down to reproach him for what happened, he was attacked in the back and brutally beaten, as explained in a statement by the Taxi Bidasoa association, which brings together 59 local professionals. 

As a result of the attack, the taxi driver brokehis jaw , suffered a heavy spill in his left eye and suffered other serious injuries.

After several days of medical tests, the patient had to undergo emergency surgery last week, according to information provided by the group.

The Irun Municipal Police have taken over the investigation of the incident and the sector has denounced the increasing violence that is causing more and more taxi drivers to refuse to work at night for fear of further attacks.

In this context, they find it unacceptable that those providing essential services should choose between earning a living or endangering their physical integrity, and call for measures to strengthen security.
