A viral video shared on Facebook by user Pooja Pooja shows a white covered pickup truck crashing into a grey pickup. The driver of the grey pickup then exited his vehicle, scolded the other driver and proceeded to punch him.
When the driver being attacked covered his head and bent low to avoid the punches, his assailant then lifted a knee into the man’s head.
The post, which included images of the incident, criticised the violent reaction, stating, ‘Accidents can happen at any time, and no one wants them to. But how can you gang up and attack someone after they already apologised?’.
The poster also confirmed that the driver of the covered pickup was their younger sibling and vowed to pursue legal action.
According to reports, the driver of the covered pickup was accompanied by his girlfriend when the accident occurred.
As evidenced in the video, he immediately admitted fault and apologised, but the other driver refused to listen and allegedly launched a physical attack, striking him multiple times and causing visible injuries, including bruises.
Fearing for their safety, the girlfriend recorded the assault on video, which was later used as evidence when they filed a complaint at Patong Police Station.
The pickup truck owner condemned the violent response, stating that while accidents are unfortunate, resorting to physical aggression was unacceptable. He affirmed his intention to pursue the case legally.
Police are reviewing the footage as part of their investigation.
