webfact Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Thai road rage: "Win" charged with assault after he batters 75 year old taxi driver with his helmet Petchkasem police have charged a 32 year old motorcycle taxi rider (Win) with assault after he used his helmet to bash a 75 year old taxi driver causing head and facial injuries. The chief of police said that the incident began after a collision in the Bang Khun Thian area after which a chase ensued. Phachorn, 32, then assaulted Meng S. , 75, near an intersection in Bang Khae. Both parties filed complaints with the police following the incident yesterday afternoon. The Win rider claimed that his wife was hurt in a collision and the taxi driver fled the scene. He then claimed that the old man then went for him with what looked like a screwdriver resulting in him using his helmet to beat the driver.

Popular Post darksidedog Posted May 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2020 A guy in his 30's has to resort to battering a fella old enough to be his grandfather with a helmet? Pathetic, but similar to that which we see way too often. Stop with the wais and the petty fines and give these people 5 years in jail and we might see the number of incidences start to drop. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That taxi might have almost killed him and tried to flee after it...so because the driver is 75 he should get away with it? I don't think so. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Transport for London have very stringent health standards and must be satisfied that a driver is fit and proper to hold a licence. This Thai cabbie probably was as well. Even if he was not he did not deserve to get a beating from a thug who was 40 years his junior. Edited May 28, 2020 by yogi100 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
