A group of angry taxi drivers stormed the head offices of taxi dispatcher Coventry Connections Friday before pushing staff members out of the building and yanking internet and other cables out of the wall, according to the company’s president.

Coventry chief executive Hanif Patni said the unexpected attack on the building, located at 455 Coventry Rd., has shut down the city’s taxi dispatch system leaving the city’s fleets flying blind. The vandalism occurred on a planned “Day of Action” by Unifor, the union representing airport taxi drivers who are currently in a dispute with the company over airport pick-up fees.

According to Coventry staff who were in the building at the time, a female staff member was lured outside at around 7:30 a.m. When she opened the door, staff said a group of about 50 people stormed into the building. The protesters told everyone to leave and those who wouldn’t were pushed out, according to the employees.
