Taxi drivers in Belfast are campaigning to be allowed to carry pepper spray so they can defend themselves against violent passengers.
Public hire drivers say drastic action is needed to cut down on the number of attacks on drivers.
The drivers claim more and more drivers are being assaulted by passengers and say some are even being threatened with knives and guns.
They have also called for tougher laws to punish violent passengers.
