  • This is the moment a couple of Americans got more than they bargained for when the driver of a horse and carriage threatened them with his whip for allegedly not paying for their ride. The video was shot on Tuesday in Dublin, just after St Patrick's Day celebrations, and was shared online.

In Florence, Italy, two American tourists were whipped by a horse carriage driver after they reportedly refused to pay their fare. The incident occurred when the tourists, after enjoying a ride around the city, attempted to leave without settling the bill. The driver, in an attempt to stop them, used his whip, leading to a physical altercation. The event was captured on video by bystanders and has since gone viral, sparking discussions on social media about tourist behavior and the treatment of service workers. Local authorities are investigating the matter, with potential charges pending against both the tourists for fare evasion and the driver for assault.
