A video showing a fight between two road users at a petrol station in Kedah, at the Gurun Rest and Service Area (RnR), had gone viral.
The incident reportedly began when one of the drivers honked his horn to reprimand another driver who was believed to be using a mobile phone while driving.
However, the man chased the individual’s vehicle to a petrol station.
The video, which is 31 seconds long, shows the man holding what appears to be a samurai sword while making threats and asking the driver who honked at him to apologize.
However, the driver defended his actions, saying, “It’s not only him who brought his boys; we also have children.”
Further details of the dispute between the two individuals remained unclear.
Attempt to Calm the Situation
Several public members can be seen trying to calm the two individuals involved in the dispute.
Meanwhile, the person who recorded the incident could be heard asking petrol station workers to contact the police following the altercation.
The incident serves as a reminder of the dangers of road rage and the importance of staying calm while driving.
It is unknown whether any charges have been filed concerning the incident.
Dulu ada org pernah kena tangkap dan dakwa sebab bawa parang dlm kenderaan. Walaupun dia sebenarnya nak pergi menebas Kat kebun. Inikan pulak pedang samurai. Memang patut lapor polis.
