The incident in Sarjapur is the most recent in a string of road rage episodes reported from Bengaluru over the past few months. Just last month, three men were apprehended after a woman posted a video showing them tailing a car on a scooter, banging on its windows, and attempting to open its doors.
In December last year, a viral video surfaced showing a man on a two-wheeler stopping a car and banging on its window. Shortly afterward, he picked up a rock and smashed the car’s windshield.
The increasing number of such incidents has prompted the city’s traffic police to release tips on how to safely handle road rage incidents.
