Motorist assaults woman on scooter in road rage incident

The incident took place on the Pashan-Baner Link Road at around 12.30 pm when the elderly motorist was speeding behind her for almost 2 km, desperately trying to overtake.

The woman, identified as Jerlyn D’Silva, narrating the incident in a social media video, said that she had moved to the side of the road to give him way when he suddenly sped in the front, took a left and blocked her two-wheeler near Hotel Mahabaleshwar. He got down in an angry mood, rushed up to her, pulled her hair and hit her on the face, leaving her with a bleeding nose. The accused was joined by his wife who also allegedly assaulted D’Silva before another woman came to her rescue, even as a crowd gathered there.

Later, the victim managed to remove the keys of the car of the accused, whose identity is not yet known.
