It’s not news that some people can have anger issues, but this man took things too far.
On 1 May, a video of a man hitting a woman on the streets went viral on social media.
It was seen in the video that he got off his motorbike to confront a female driver at Jalan Datuk Keramat, Kuala Lumpur. After a heated exchange, the man punched and slapped the woman but was stopped by passersby.
According to The Star, the man accused the woman of changing lanes without signalling while on the phone, which almost made his bike skid. She then drove away without apologising.
Enraged, he chased her for a distance and slammed the roof of her car with his helmet. She then got down to check for damages, and that was when the argument began.
He called her “dumb” for driving recklessly, according to OhBulan. And the woman allegedly replied, “You’re stupid! You’re crazy!”
And in a blink of an eye, she was punched in the face.
The woman then lodged a police report and received treatment at Hospital Ampang.
Although the police reported that this man has a criminal record with five charges connected to drugs and mischief, the man’s wife stated that the criminal record belonged to the bike’s previous owner, although she did not defend his actions.
According to The Star, the police are still looking for the man, but netizens are speculating that he is a “celebrity chef” at a hotel in Kuala Lumpur.
Upon watching the viral video, enraged netizens have made comments like, “This is totally wrong”, “Violence is never the answer”, while some commented, “Although it’s wrong to hit someone, some of them deserve it”.
We should always keep calm when we drive on the roads because nobody wants accidents to happen. And guys, keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road at all times.
