Tourists accused of dodging carriage fare face unexpected retaliation
On the X platform, a video captured a shocking moment showing tourists accused of dodging a carriage before being whipped by the driver. Footage of the incident surfaced online, showing the driver confronting the tourists in an alleyway.

Two American tourists in Dublin allegedly attempted to flee without paying for a horse carriage ride. Then, their driver, visibly enraged, chased them down and appeared to whip them.

One of the tourists, visibly shaken, replied, “I have money,” before handing over what appeared to be cash. However, the driver continued to lash out, yelling obscenities.

The tourists quickly apologized, saying, “I’m sorry, we’ve learned our lesson, thank you!” It remains unclear whether they had initially paid or not.
