Mr Hu, a 72-year-old cabby, wanted to buy sliced fish soup at noon on June 11 but an apparent misunderstanding between him and the hawker ended in a fall.
The taxi driver told Shin Min Daily News that he had his own food container for the soup and requested for his order to be packed in it but was rebutted aggressively.
As a result, Mr Hu suffered a hip fracture and needed to undergo a four-hour surgery. He was instructed by the doctor post-surgery to avoid bending down or lifting his feet for a month. "We just told him to go away, but he lost his balance on one foot and fell down," said Mr Chen, insisting that he did not have physical contact with Mr Hu and that the closed circuit television footage would prove that he was telling the truth.
"I also have to spend money on transportation to see the doctor during this period. I am thinking of asking the other party for compensation for medical expenses, transportation expenses and pay loss. He has yet to say sorry to me."
