Video: Shocking violence sees biker pull a knife and knock out taxi driver

 

Picture: Daily News

 

Dash cam footage from a Bangkok cab showed an altercation between a man on a Kawasaki KSR and a 53 year old taxi driver. 

 

The footage - posted on "Hear Khap Rot" stemmed from a problem on the local road next to the Phrapradaeng expressway involving the taxi cutting in front of the motorcyclist. 

 

The motorcyclist can be seen early in the seven minute clip drawing over to the left presumably to get a knife out to confront the driver, reported Thai Rath.

 

The rider than taps on the window and slows in front of the cab and is knocked off. 

 

Out of camera shot he attempted to stab the driver but the blow did not pierce the skin. 

 

For some reason the driver gets out of the cab and the foul mouthed confrontation continues in which the driver is knocked to the tarmac. There is blood on the roadway.

 

A crowd of people come to help. 

 

The assailant left the scene at the end of the clip said the media who contacted the Samae Dam police for comment. 

 

Pol Capt Rerngsak Petchkhiaw, in charge of the case, said that after the victim went to hospital he reported the matter to police. He was named as Kitipong Markjongdee,53. 

 

It all happened on the evening of August 14th.

 

Capt Rerngsak said that only a rolled up wad of 20 baht notes in a bag prevented the knife entering the driver's body making the incident even worse. 

 

The bike had no license plate but the police captain said that they hope to have the rider in custody soon. 

 

The fact that he was armed with a knife showed malice aforethought and the lack of plates indicated that he may have been involved in serious incidents before. 

 

More about this as we hear of it.

Just saw  this on the news. What an !d!ot. Should get a long jail term if caught.

Unbelievable....this man should be imprisoned for a long time and treated by an psychiatrist.

Makes a change, It's usually the taxi driver with the machete/sword/knife.

Looks like the blood was when the taxi driver hit his head on the kerb after he was punched.

Exactly. He's lucky to be alive. I know several who died when slipping on a wet bathroom floor.

I guess I missed the same. The only "help" shown on the news appeared to be a guy on a mc, that looked to be a friend of the 'knife man'.

Agree with the jail term. A psychiatrist would be superfluous, cant change stupid.

Brake checks a moving vehicle while brandishing a knife, then proceeds to hit the guy so hard he could have broken his jaw, poor guy falls on the edge of the kerb and smashes his head which could lead to a fractured skull and even brain damage.

 

Five to ten years will do him and the rest of us road users a world of good

Hats off to the bloke for knocking 'Zorro' off upon seeing the knife at the onset.

I don’t think brain damage is a concern...

Taxi driver on the receiving end, Now that is a shame

brain damage doesn't seem to be a significant issue

500 baht...... Next

Taxi should have driven over the motorcycle idiot thug.

Thank goodness the taxi driver had a video camera on-board. Otherwise the thug would have claimed that the taxi driver ran him over....that being the reason for the attack.

He won't be able to claim that now. Probably busy thinking up another reason, now that the power of social media is on to him.

Please remain there. Humor is so out of place in this sad story.

another bike crime where no plates on the bike, I see these and wonder why the cops don't stop and confiscate these bikes when they see them on the road.  Most aare up to no good and that is why they remove the plates.  The couple jewelry snatched in patts, the activist attacked in bkk in broad daylighite, the list goes on and on.

I shall create a safety vest made of these,  amazing green notes which preserve life.

Anyway, makes it any difference, after the message of the van driver, who was killing 11 people.

Theay all crazy drivers.

yesterday I drove from Huahin to Suvarnabhumi, when you see, again all that heavy motorbikes passing me. Even 50cm between 2 cars, and they go between with speed of about 80km or higher..

believe me, it will never change, but up to them!

You know several people who have died slipping on a wet bathroom floor????

Lost interest after protagonist dropped his knife - TWICE - and khun victim merely did a rabbit in the headlights impression

 

Anything that happened to him after that, self inflicted

Helping the perpetrator with the knife, what a bunch of pussy's.

Nobody even called the BIB's or tried to stop the @zzhole from fleeing the scene.

Normal thai behavior. 

Next road rage please.

Put this "hia" him in Jail, he is armed. Where's the Police after seeing this video. Poor Uncle Taxi

that helmet, and blue top combination is pretty distinctive for ID'ing...
