Russian Woman Threatens Taxi Driver With Machete Over Music Choice
A woman in Russia got very angry at her taxi driver because he was playing music she didn't like.
She wanted to listen to a different kind of music called 'chanson.'
She pulled a big knife, like a machete, out of her bag and pointed it at the driver.
The driver got scared and quickly changed the music to what the woman wanted.
When he played her favorite songs, she put the knife away.
The driver dropped her off later and the police are looking for her because a video of what happened went viral.
