NEW YORK, May 14 (UPI) -- A New York cab driver says he was ordered to take 30 days off work and fined $1,000 for allegedly dropping the F-bomb when another cabbie cut him off.

Zbigniew Sobczak was found guilty of verbal harassment for allegedly cursing at fellow driver Malik Rizwan during a confrontation between the two on the road, the New York Post reported Wednesday.

"What the (expletive)? You have problem? Why you beeping?" Sobczak is accused of saying.

It is reported Rizwan responded with "You (expletive)! You go in your car."

Since neither cabbie was transporting a passenger at the time, they were at liberty to let the expletives fly, the Post said.

The Post said Rizwan notified authorities after he and Sobczak got into two additional squabbles that day.
