Police said the taxi driver was first attacked by a man who refused to pay his fare, at about 3.20am outside Shoop nightclub in Langhorne Street. The man punched the driver in the head and damaged the inside of the car.
The cab driver got out of the vehicle and was then assaulted by another two men, before six nearby taxi drivers came to his aid and a fight ensued. All involved were injured.
Two men, 23 and 20, were charged and bailed to appear at court at a later date.
