For Honking... Taxi Driver Slapped and Threatened with a Weapon
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Suwan] The police have launched an investigation after receiving a report that a man was threatened with a weapon and subjected to retaliatory driving for honking his horn.
According to the Gwangju Nambu Police Station on the 15th, A (38), a taxi driver, was waiting at a traffic light on a road in Nam-gu, Gwangju, at 4:17 p.m. the previous day.
Although the light turned green, the vehicle in front did not move, so A honked his horn.
The male driver who got out of the vehicle in front reportedly threatened A with a weapon.
Frightened, A started his taxi to avoid the man, but the man's car followed for about 30 meters and blocked his way again.
In particular, after getting out of his car, A was assaulted, including being slapped by the man.
Meanwhile, the police are investigating the exact circumstances after receiving A's report.
