A yellow-cab driver furious about getting cut off in the JFK pickup line ripped off his own antenna and used it to clobber the other driver, cops said Monday.
Outmane Bouzid, 26, of Corona, Queens, was headed through the lot early Sunday morning when he and the other driver got into an argument about who was first in line to pick up passengers.
The other driver told Bouzid to “calm down and relax,” but he refused.
Bouzid instead got out of his car, opened the victim’s car door, and punched him in the face. The 6-foot, 200-pound man went back to his own cab, ripped an antenna off the roof, and beat the driver over the head with it, police said.
The 42-year-old victim suffered visible injuries to his face and head.
Bouzid was charged with assault, criminal possession of a weapon and harassment.
Cops impounded his taxi and the Taxi & Limousine Commission has suspended his taxi license pending the outcome of the criminal case.
