A 73 year old motorcycle taxi rider in the central province of Chachoengsao stabbed a rival taxi rider after the victim accused him of stealing a passenger.

 

Officers from Mueang Chachoengsao Police Station intervened in a confrontation between two motorcycle taxi riders outside the Metropolitan Waterworks Office on Junlanan Road in Chachoengsao province on February 5.

 

Officers witnessed the 43 year old taxi rider, Pornthep, who bore a cut wound on his left arm, arguing with another rider, 73 year old Sayunt. Officers contacted a rescue team to provide Sayant first aid before questioning both riders about the motive of the dispute.

 

Officers clarified to Channel 7 that Sayunt had dropped off his passenger at Buddha Sothorn Hospital and was departing when another customer, 29 year old Sakarn, asked Sayunt to take him to a bank on Maha Jakkaphat Road. Sayunt agreed and proceeded to escort his passenger out of the hospital.

Of course, it isn't unusual for taxi drivers to attack fellow taxi drivers over a passenger, said no-one anywhere outside of Thailand. As far as I know it's just a custom in the land of smiles and we read of it quite often. Although I stand to be corrected. How is the Philippines?
