The two tourists then asked the driver to stop the car and get out immediately. However, the taxi driver continued the journey, making the two foreigners want to report him to the police.

Hearing this, the taxi driver challenged the two tourists to report him to the police. He also kept demanding an amount of USD50 or around Rp770 thousand from the two passengers. When the money was not given, the driver pulled out an object resembling a knife that was suspected to be used to threaten the two female tourists. Eventually, they became frightened and gave the driver some of the money they had.

The Head of Public Relations of the Bali Police, Kombes Pol Jansen Avitus Panjaitan, stated that the perpetrator is currently being pursued.

“The incident is suspected to have occurred on Tuesday, January 2, 2024, around 5:00 PM WITA, on Jalan Kayu Aya Seminyak, Kuta Badung, where it was seen in a recording a taxi driver threatening two foreign nationals who were passengers of the taxi with a sharp weapon.”
