The five suspects were caught in a cctv footage attacking the deceased after they refused to pay their fare and also tried to rob him in Far Rockaway.
The five suspect took turns to assault the taxi driver who was defenceless and when he was able to get back on his feet, one of the man smacked him on the head that sent him to the ground unable to get up.
The suspects then fled the scene and could all be seen smiling on camera as they walked away into the building.
The taxi driver hit his head on the ground causing severe head trauma and later died at the St. John’s hospital where he was rushed to.
