Five nationalist-owned taxis were attacked with bricks and stones in the
Waterside area of Derry over the weekend in a campaign orchestrated by
loyalists, with one taxi targeted twice.
Sinn Féin Councillor Lynn Fleming said the sectarian attacks are part of a
two-year campaign against Cityside taxis.
"Taxi drivers and local politicians need to sit down together to get these
attacks stopped before someone is seriously injured or even killed," she
said.
Development worker with Northwest Taxi Proprietors, Eamonn O'Donnell, said
every one of these incidents has the potential for a disaster.
