The customer could be seen trying to ease herself out of the car and hit the ground already running in a bid to avoid falling.
But the driver was going too fast for her to land steadily on her feet.
She tumbled onto the tarmac, rolled over, and skidded to a stop moments later.
She then picked herself up and hobbled off as a passing biker stopped to ask if she was okay.
The bizarre scenes unfolded on 3 June in Itapetininga, west of São Paulo, Brazil.
The taxi driver told police that the ride had been requested with cash as the selected payment method.
On the way to the destination in the city centre, the passenger gave a different name from the one the ride had been booked under.
She added that she did not have the cash, prompting the driver to tell her they would have to go to the police to sort the matter out.
En route to the police station, the passenger opened the door and jumped out of the moving car.
The taxi driver - according to her testimony - stopped, got out, and tried to talk to the passenger.
The woman allegedly told her she would pay the fare - £1.38 (10.40 BRL) - via a transfer later on and asked for her account details.
A local media source told What's The Jam: 'At the end of the day, she paid the driver.'

THE estranged wife of actor Scott Wolf has posted a video of her being detained by police after making concerning comments. Utah police exclusively told The U.S. Sun that officers responded to a call at Scott and Kelley Wolf's Park City home for concerns over a woman's "erratic behavior" and a "potential threat to herself and others." 6 6 6 6 In the video posted to Kelley's Instagram account, Kelley screamed "shame on you!" as officers put her in handcuffs days after Scott filed for divorce. Police told Kelley, 48, that they were confronting her because she "made some comments to your dad and comments to people that are concerning," so they "want to make sure you're okay." "Oh my God. Don't. Oh my God, this is not happening!" Kelley is heard screaming back at them in a video posted on Friday morning. "This is shameful. Look at this... Be ashamed of yourself." Cops could be heard assuring her that she wasn't going to jail and that they were going to get her "some help." "I know what I'm doing, I've done this. This is my job," Kelley responded. The video was all black and only audio until the last few seconds, when Kelley and officers appear on the screen. "Officers responded to a call concerning erratic behavior and a potential threat to herself and others," the Park City Police Department told The U.S. Sun. "The officers responded to the family's Park City home. More information is not available at this time as an investigation is still underway." In a post to her Instagram Story after the scary footage was shared to her account, Kelley wrote, "This is horrible. I have been taken against my will." She continued, "Also...I am happy!! Happier than I have ever been. "I have NO idea why or how this is happening in AMERICA." Kelley added, "I am compliant, calm and respectful, and hopefully this is all sorted very quickly. "In the meantime, be kind to each other. This is one of the darkest things I've ever experienced." In the update, Kelley also asked someone to check on her kids while she was with the police. Scott and Kelley share three children together. SAD SPLIT The former couple were married for 21 years before Scott, 57, filed for divorce in Utah on June 9. In a statement on June 10, Kelley said their divorce had been 'a long, quiet journey for me—rooted in hope, patience, and care for our children. "While I will not speak publicly about the details, I feel peace knowing that I've done everything I can to walk this path with integrity and compassion.' Scott broke his silence earlier this week to confirm that he decided to end the marriage. 'After 21 years of marriage, I have made the most difficult decision of my life, and filed for divorce from my wife Kelley,' Scott said in a statement. "Our children have always been, and continue to be, the loves of our lives and our every priority, so I kindly ask for privacy at this time as we help guide them through this new chapter." 6 6

Man who attacked officers outside police station had been referred to Prevent
A man armed with Molotov cocktails and a hatchet who attacked officers outside a South Wales police station had been referred to the Prevent anti-terrorism programme a year earlier by his sister, a court heard. Alexander Dighton, 28, knocked one officer unconscious and stabbed another in the leg when he launched an attack on Talbot Green Police Station in Rhondda Cynon Taf on January 31. In a police interview, Dighton, of Pontyclun, said he did not consider the scope of damage, 'merely that blood had to be spilt'. He previously pleaded guilty to 10 charges relating to the incident. At a sentencing hearing at the Old Bailey on Friday, Judge Mark Lucraft KC heard Dighton had been referred to the anti-terrorism programme Prevent a year before the incident. Prosecutor Nicholas Hearn said: 'On January 5 2024, the defendant was reported to Prevent by his sister, who stated her brother holds racist and anti-Muslim views and is likely to be involved with incel groups. 'She also stated that he is vulnerable as he has gone missing previously and has attempted suicide.' The incel movement is made up of people who find themselves unsuccessful in relationships, often harbouring extreme and misogynistic views. On the night of the attack, Dighton arrived at the police station shortly before 7pm, where he lit a petrol bomb and threw it at a police van. When that failed to ignite, he attempted to start a fire by pouring lighter fluid over the van before smashing the windows of two vehicles using a pole. When confronted by officers, Dighton said: 'I'm fed up, I'm done,' before launching his attack. Attempts to restrain him using a Taser were unsuccessful because of the body armour he was wearing. He swung a pole at one officer, punched one in the head and stabbed another in the thigh, narrowly missing his femoral artery. Two of the three injured officers were taken to hospital for treatment. The court also heard Dighton had recently been involved in an altercation with his neighbour, during which he used a homophobic slur. A week before the incident, he had received a letter from the police telling him to attend a police station to provide biometric samples in relation to the alleged public order offence. In a police interview after the attack on the police station, he said that he expected officers to go to his home to attempt to arrest him for not providing a sample. Mr Hearn said: 'He intended to attack the police officers who attended with a shovel, which he had sharpened for that purpose, and that his intention at that time was to kill any police officers who attended. 'No officers in fact attended the defendant's address.' During the interview, he also said his intention was to let it be known that 'his tolerance for the government had come to an end' by causing as much damage as possible. Mr Hearn said: '(Dighton) said that he had 'teetered' as to whether he wanted to kill someone and had not been 'fully decided'.' Dighton, representing himself in court, spoke about violence being 'justified' against the state. He referred to grooming gangs and 'Boris Johnson having parties while the country is locked down' during the Covid-19 pandemic. The defendant added: ' People have such a short memory, it is terrible. 'I will be dead before I leave prison anyway, so that doesn't bother me.' The hearing continues.

Graham Saville inquest: Sergeant's train death could have been prevented
The death of a police sergeant struck by a train could have been prevented if the control room had not delayed contacting Network Rail, a coroner has father of two Graham Saville had been trying to help a vulnerable man when he was hit by the high-speed train, and died in hospital five days inquest heard he and two colleagues approached the railway line in Nottinghamshire after the control room falsely said it was contacting Network Laurinda Bower said if Network Rail had been contacted sooner, it could have put a "caution" on the line - meaning trains would have slowed down and the collision would not have occurred. Sgt Saville was struck at 19:08 BST on 24 August 2023 - only 20 seconds after the call to Network Rail was eventually Saville's family said the inquest had "unfortunately revealed some shocking and disturbing information"."The inquest has identified deficiencies in so many areas, which, had they been in place and followed, could have prevented this tragedy occurring," they said in a they said the inquest had also shown them that Sgt Saville and his colleagues were "focused on protecting and serving", and it was "important to shine a light on this aspect"."Many hundreds of officers across the country fulfil this duty day in and day out and this is never acknowledged," the statement added. The inquest heard Sgt Saville, a response officer, had been deployed following a 999 call about a man referred to at the inquest as Patient C had a history of suicide attempts, the inquest was told, and had called the ambulance service at 18:47 saying he had left his house, was heading towards the railway line in Balderton, and intended to walk in front of a train because he was "not able to do this any more".The inquest heard the correct procedure should have been for the police control room to contact Network Rail before Patient C even reached the railway this did not the coroner asked dispatcher Jack Richardson why there was a delay, he said he thought Network Rail did not need to be contacted unless someone had entered a inquest also heard the control room called Network Rail on an incorrect number, which was an emergency line for the public, rather than the one police were meant to use. Sgt Saville was at the side of the railway line when he was struck by the train, which was travelling at about had discharged his Taser in the direction of Patient C, and the coroner said this would have meant he needed to position himself closer, as the optimal firing distance was between two and four metres."He was starting to move away from the line when he was struck," she was given first aid by his colleagues and taken to the Queen's Medical Centre in he died in hospital on 29 August, with his cause of death given as multiple injuries. 'Wholly preventable' In her findings, the coroner said the delay in contacting Network Rail "probably more than minimally contributed to Graham's death".She also said the collision "would not have occurred if a caution had been placed on the line".Ms Bower said there had been a further delay by a senior officer telling Sgt Saville and his two colleagues not to enter the line, and this had "probably more than minimally contributed" to his coroner gave a narrative conclusion, which summarised how Sgt Saville had died, and said his death had been "wholly preventable".His widow, Joanne Saville, then thanked the coroner for what she said had been a "full and fearless" inquest, while saying it had been "painful to hear"."We have the full facts and the answers to our questions and this is important not only now, but for the future, if, when or should our children wish to know everything," she said.
