during a ride from North Beach I was horribly verbally abused with a cab #2810. After giving directions to Bayside Village Pl insulting me that this address doesn't exist and that he was a driver for 25 years in San Francisco. Called me drunk, verbally insulted me and lighted a flash ligh directly to my eyes. The worst experience ever in my life and destroying my last moments of my birthday. The guy seemed really aggresive and trying to provoke a physical attack.
