A French taxi driver has accused Foreign Secretary David Lammy of 'acting like a thug' and 'losing it' during a furious row over a £600 taxi fare.
Nassim Mimun, 40, said he was left feeling 'scared' during a trip delivering Mr Lammy, 52, and his 53-year-old artist wife, Nicola Green, to an Alpine ski resort.
Mr Mimun was tracked down by the Mail to his home in Avignon after prosecutors opened an investigation into the bitter row.
It includes allegations that Mr Lammy and his wife both became 'very aggressive' after refusing to pay the extra £600 as part of the cost of the journey, which lasted almost six hours.
He claimed that Mr Lammy 'snatched the receipt from his hand' when he said it was up to the passengers to pay €700 (£588) out of a €1,550 (£1,305) total fare - the rest of which was covered by a transfer service used to book the trip.
