Phoenix Rickshaw Driver Targeted in Racist Verbal Attack, Incident Goes Viral
Phoenix, AZ – A recent video uploaded by local resident sj_lift_7 has sparked widespread discussion online, documenting a confrontational encounter between a man and a rickshaw driver in downtown Phoenix. The incident, which occurred on September 1, 2025, shows a man repeatedly verbally assaulting the driver, instructing him to “go back to whatever shit hole country you came from.”The video begins with the man, who is also filming, aggressively telling the rickshaw driver, “You’re illegally soliciting rides right now. I got your face and all that.” The driver calmly responds by also filming the man, stating, “So are you.” The man continues his verbal tirade, asserting, “We don’t want you here.” The driver, maintaining composure, reiterates, “That’s fine. Doesn’t matter what’s your name. It’s your country where you came from.” The man then threatens, “I’ll be on your ass every time you’re out here.”The incident, which the driver described as an experience he "can't believe I've had to face," has drawn significant attention on social media, with many users condemning the man's behavior and expressing solidarity with the driver. Comments on the video suggest this type of behavior is not isolated in the area, with one user stating, "We have tons of people like him in Phoenix! I just had an encounter with a man who said he would call ice on me just because the store I worked at was closed." The video serves as a stark reminder of ongoing issues of xenophobia and harassment in public spaces.
