The 사건 took place in March 2022 when a 31-year-old taxi driver preyed on a drunk woman after she had been out at a bar in the center of Helsinki. The woman, who was heavily intoxicated, was escorted into the taxi by her colleague and directed to her mother's apartment, where she could enter due to an electronic lock. After arriving, she went inside alone to find money for the taxi fare but was unable to locate any. She then returned to the taxi driver and agreed to pay him the fare of 60 euros through the Mobilepay application the next day.

However, after the woman shared her phone number with the taxi driver, he insisted on coming inside her mother's apartment to write it down himself. After obtaining her number, the driver left but later knocked on the door again, indicating uninvited behavior. This incident raises serious concerns about the safety of individuals in vulnerable states and the responsibilities of service providers like taxi drivers who should protect their customers rather than exploit them. The legal and societal implications of such acts are profound, as they reflect on issues of consent and predatory behavior in public services.

The continuing discourse about safety in public transport and nightlife environments emphasizes the need for stricter regulations and better training for drivers to ensure that no one is put in such precarious situations again. It also calls for increased awareness among the public regarding safety measures when returning home from a night out, particularly when intoxicated.
