Mumbai: A shocking road rage incident between a car driver travelling with a toddler and a bike in suburban Mumbai has gained social media attention after a video of the altercation was posted online by a user named Arhant. The confrontation, as seen in the video was fueled by accusations of reckless driving, escalating into a full-fledged physical clash.
The footage, captured by another biker’s helmet camera, shows a car stopped in the middle of a busy street after being blocked by a biker. As the video unfolds, the biker approaches the vehicle and begins hurling abuses and threats at the driver. Initially, the driver remains inside his vehicle, with the windows rolled up, seemingly trying to avoid further conflict. However, the situation deteriorates when the driver lowers his window and exchanges verbal comments with the biker.
In a sudden escalation, the driver opens his door, appearing to take aim at the biker. The biker, now enraged, responds by slapping the driver. In the midst of the chaos, the person recording the incident notices a child in the car, visibly upset and crying. The bystander attempts to mediate, urging the driver to comfort the distressed child while stepping in to calm both parties.
