NEW DELHI: A cab driver allegedly threatened and attempted to assault a man with a stick following a minor collision inside the Dwarka Expressway tunnel in southwest Delhi. A video of the incident has since gone viral on social media. Police said efforts are underway to identify and trace the cab driver, who fled the spot before officers arrived. According to police, a PCR call was received at Kapashera police station at around 7.44 pm on July 7. The caller alleged that after his WagonR was involved in a minor collision with a white Maruti Ertiga taxi, the taxi driver approached him with a stick and attempted to assault him. Police said the caller pushed the taxi driver in self-defence, causing him to fall against a parked Kia Seltos, resulting in minor damage to the vehicle. The owner of the Kia Seltos stopped the caller and sought compensation, while the taxi driver fled the scene. When PCR personnel reached the spot, the caller informed them that the taxi driver had already left. The caller and the owner of the Kia Seltos later settled the matter amicably, and no injuries were reported. By the time police reached the location, they found neither the damaged vehicles nor any injured persons. During a telephonic inquiry, the caller told police that he had returned home, the matter had been settled amicably, and he did not wish to pursue legal action. Police said they are examining CCTV footage from the area to identify and trace the taxi driver. The viral video is also being examined as part of the inquiry.
