A recent incident unfolded in Bengaluru traffic where a man, caught on camera, exhibited a fit of rage towards another driver. The video, circulating on the internet, captures the enraged individual on a two-wheeler aggressively approaching a car, banging on the driver’s window, and ultimately smashing the windshield with a rock before fleeing the scene. Bernard Mascarenhas, who recorded the incident and shared it on Instagram, revealed that the confrontation occurred on November 22 around 8:30 pm near the Horamavu Bridge.
Narrating the distressing encounter, Mascarenhas asserted that the motorcyclist, while attempting a U-turn, instigated the attack on his car. He claimed that the young man shouted in Kannada, made menacing gestures, and ultimately shattered the car window before making a hasty escape. Providing further insight, Mascarenhas elucidated in a comment, “He came from the opposite direction and just cut across blindly without indication. I braked hard, and we both then had eye contact, following which he looked downwards towards the registration plate, and then got off his scooter to begin his tirade.”
Despite Mascarenhas maintaining his composure while live-recording the enraged individual, the situation escalated when the motorcyclist, agitated further, proceeded to smash the car’s windshield. Mascarenhas justified his decision to refrain from reacting, stating, “I did not step out of the car or react because I was recording the happenings and was concerned for my own safety. I did not know if he’s have anything in his pockets that could have caused me harm had I stepped out.”
