Vaneet Singh said the men slapped and shoved him as he drove along the A33 after collecting them from the Grosvenor Casino in Reading,UK in the early hours of Sunday.
The 41-year-old said one of the men tried to remove his turban and asked him: "Are you Taliban?"Police
investigating the incident said no arrests have been made.
Mr Singh, who
lives in Tilehurst,UK with his wife and three young children, said he had started working
as a taxi driver because the coronavirus pandemic had stalled his job teaching
music to children in Slough.
He said:
"It was horrible, really frightening, I will never work the nightshift
again. I'm still very scared."
Mr Singh said
the person in the middle of the back of the car pulled his turban as he was
driving and slapped him on the head, while others kicked and punched the back
of his driver's seat.
He said the
passengers were well behaved at the start of the journey but "totally
changed" as it went on.
"It's very
bad experience. It's my religion so I respect my turban," he said.
A Thames Valley
Police spokesman said the force was investigating a report of assault and
appealed for witnesses.
