Police are investigating after a taxi driver was assaulted, possibly during an argument over a seatbelt.
The driver picked up two passengers outside the Sin Bin sports bar in Lower Hutt at 8.45pm yesterday, police said.
The driver was attacked by one of the passengers when a dispute arose over the need to wear a seatbelt, Fairfax reported.
A police spokeswoman this morning said the dispute was over the fare.
The driver suffered minor injuries.
