In recent times, road rage cases have been on the rise across major metropolitan cities in India. From violent altercations between drivers to verbal insults, these incidents even lead to injuries in certain cases. One such event took place in Bengaluru’s Sarjapur, where an alleged drunk biker broke the glass of a car, leaving a family traumatised. A video capturing the entire scenario has taken the internet by storm, leaving users furious over the man’s conduct.
Shared on X platform by Citizens Movement, East Bengaluru, the video shows a couple seated inside their car when the biker approaches them from ahead. While the driver continues to warn him about a kid inside the car, the biker gets even more agitated and ends up hitting the windshield.
Many others intervened and tried to stop him, but in vain. The woman inside the car could be heard screaming for help while the kid continued crying. “What’s happening on Sarjapur Road? A family in the car is being attacked by bike-borne assailants! Please help! The incident happened at 10:30 pm at street 1522, Doddakannelli Junction! The couple just reached the police station! ” the caption read.

As soon as the video came out, social media users were left divided. While some claimed that such incidents have become very common in Bengaluru, others called out the menace.
A user wrote, “If my child is in the car and the assailant goes and picks up a stone, that’s the sign – accelerate and get the hell out. If the assailant tries to block, just run them over. Family safety above anything.”

A user shared his own experience and noted, “This is a menace in Bangalore. I too faced such a situation and had to run with my family lest they do unimaginable things with us. These bike drivers run in gangs and hit cars with decent families, break glass and beat them, rob them and molest ladies.”
