When I got off the bridge, this car turned on the right turn signal, forced my car to the side of the road and stopped to handle the incident. As soon as I got off the car, I asked "what kind of driving are you doing?", the driver raised his hand and slapped me. I ran away but this person continued to chase, cursing and hitting my head," Mr. N recounted.

Also according to Mr. N, at the above time, the Mercedes driver continuously demanded compensation from him, claiming that he was the one who caused the collision.

When many people gathered to watch and used their phones to record the incident, the Mercedes driver got into the car and left, despite Mr. N's efforts to hold him back.

When that driver talked, I smelled strong alcohol, I don't know if this person was drunk or not," Mr. N shared.
