A taxi driver, who stopped two men from getting into his cab in Melbourne, was insulted, abused and pushed on Monday afternoon.

The entire altercation was caught on a phone camera by a 3AW producer who saw this happen in Melbourne CBD, on the corner of Spencer and Collins streets.

The two men attempted to take open alcoholic drinks into the taxi. But the cab driver stopped them and said they couldn't take those bottles inside and that's when the men abused and insulted him.
Simon Purssey, Head of Client Services at 13CABS told 3AW Breakfast the driver is fine, he's just upset over the ordeal.
