A horrific incident was caught on camera by an internet sensation showing a gang of rowdy motorists pelting a car with smashed glass as its owner sat inside. Tragically, the victim was traumatised by the harsh behaviour of the culprits in the tragic road rage confrontation that occurred at the Ejipura Signal in Bengaluru at around 13:45 hours.

The victim described the fight that took place near Ejipura, a neighbourhood next to Bengaluru's posh Koramangala region, in an online account of his terrifying experience. His story goes like this: he was on his way somewhere when he got into an argument with some auto rickshaws on the road. The rickshaws apparently blocked his way and wouldn't budge, which made him angry.

The drivers of the vehicles then became obviously irritated and attacked the victim, surrounding his parked vehicle and getting into a heated argument before turning violent and breaking the glass with sharp instruments. The victim filmed his harrowing experience as the attackers surrounded him, trying to steal his phone in the midst of the chaos.

The argument intensified as the guys became increasingly angry and started yelling at the victim in Kannada; eventually, the victim suffered injuries, including bleeding from his ears, from the shattered glass. The Bengaluru police responded on X (previously Twitter) to the video's widespread distribution, asking for more information about the incident.

To put a stop to these savage acts of violence, there must be stronger security measures and preventative methods, as this disturbing instance shows. It is critical to implement security measures that can notify authorities in real-time or install dashcams in vehicles in order to prevent and handle such concerning occurrences efficiently.
