Video: Taxi driver confronted by a man with SWORD

Thai social media was widely sharing yet another serious road rage incident that happened in the Bang Plee area south east of Bangkok.

CCTV showed a fat man aged about 30 to 35 advance on a taxi being driven by a 62 year old man.

The pick-up driver was brandishing a sword and the taxi driver suffered a hand injury when he tried to grab it.

Pol Col Sophon Mongkhonsophonrat, chief of the Bang Plee force, told Daily News Online that the assailant gave himself up after the incident.

He gave a wai in apology and said he was angry that the taxi driver did not allow him to pass.

It appears he has been charged with assault and having a weapon in public though police played down the incident saying the old driver had made a grab for the weapon to defend himself.  – Daily News

Please help to support BangkokJack News through these troubled times... Poor government reaction to the COVID virus has left many, including some who rely upon us, in very difficult positions.

And still we try to deliver the REAL news to you on a daily basis. But this all comes at a cost and as tourism has dried up and with expats going home whenever they can, income streams and ad revenue is also drying up.

And this is why we appeal to our tens of thousands of readers to help out however you can - to keep us independent and opinionated.

Just Bt100 per month makes all the difference and will keep some of us in noodle soup for a day.

Alternatively please click on the advert each time you read a story and that will boost our ad revenue, at no cost to yourself.

Thank you so much to those who already do support us. It means a lot to everyone.
