Suspected Hong Kong triad member arrested after altercation with driver
- Two motorists get into heated argument after one vehicle blocks another from exiting car park, with one driver claiming he was verbally abused
Hong Kong police have arrested a suspected triad member on suspicion of criminal intimidation following a dispute between two motorists over the proper use of a road.
The argument erupted at around 10.40pm on Saturday when a vehicle tried to exit a car park at Kwong Yuen Estate in Sha Tin but was blocked by a white Mercedes-Benz.
A video posted online shows the driver of the Mercedes-Benz leaving his vehicle and using foul language to repeatedly verbally abuse the other driver, who later filed a report to police.
According to the force, the two drivers argued over the proper use of the road and the attitude of the other. Police were initially treating the case as “traffic complaint”, and no arrests were made.
The driver who initially tried to exit the car park called police the next day, claiming he was verbally abused and threatened him with foul language.
