a taxi driver in HK did that to me, he stopped at the wrong place so i kept trying to close the door telling him to drive on, the dude didnt understand english, and i didnt know what to say so i just got out of the taxi and straight into another

he probably did know what he was doing. it's a typical con in asian countries for the taxi driver to take you elsewhere so that he get's a tip or it's his family's place etc(except japan)
