YouTube video appears to show more airport taxi protest violence
Dashcam video shows man smashing car's windshield with a Unifor flagpole
Ottawa police say they're aware of a new video apparently showing another incident of vandalism involving airport taxi drivers.
The 18-second dashcam video, posted Friday on YouTube, seems to show two people with red Unifor flags smashing the hood and windshield of a vehicle on the Airport Parkway.
Airport taxi drivers represented by Unifor Local 1688 have been locked in a labour dispute with their dispatch company, Coventry Connections, for more than six weeks over an increase in fees that certain drivers pay to get exclusive access to the airport's taxi stand.

The latest video appears to show a group of four men approaching the vehicle as it attempts to exit from the Airport Parkway. One man appears to strike the vehicle with his flagpole, causing the windshield to crack.
The person who posted the video told CBC News that the incident happened Sept. 8, the same day another video was posted showing people smashing the back windshield of a different taxi.
Three people have already been charged with mischief and possession of a dangerous weapon during that day's protests.
