Almost Killed Someone Over a Fart... Stabbed 10 Times with a Weapon in Busan

Busan Police Request Arrest Warrant for Taxi Driver on Attempted Murder Charges for Seriously Injuring Late-Night Passenger

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] A laughable incident nearly turned deadly over a fart occurred in Busan.

In Busan, a taxi driver attacked a passenger with a weapon late at night, causing serious injuries. The dispute started because of the passenger's bodily function.

On the 3rd, the Busan Yeonje Police Station applied for an arrest warrant for a taxi driver in his 50s, Mr. A, on charges of attempted murder for wildly attacking a taxi passenger with a weapon.

According to the police, Mr. A is accused of stabbing a passenger in his 20s, Mr. B, multiple times with a weapon around 11 p.m. on the 1st near Mangmi Station on Busan Metro Line 3 in Suyeong District. Mr. B was stabbed about 10 times and is receiving treatment for serious injuries. It is reported that his life is not in danger.

Mr. A warned Mr. B by rolling down the window, complaining about the smell after Mr. B repeatedly farted inside the car. The police believe the dispute escalated as Mr. B, offended by this, responded back.

The weapon used in the crime, about 20 cm in length, was reportedly kept by Mr. A inside the taxi for fishing purposes.

A police official said, "Mr. A admitted to the crime and stated that he lost his rationality momentarily, but since he brutally swung the weapon multiple times, the charge was applied as attempted murder rather than special injury."
