Soldier allegedly assaults Bolt driver over traffic dispute

Following a traffic incident, a ride-hailing driver connected to Bolt is said to have been beaten by a guy wearing military gear.

According to reports, the driver raised warning to the military guy for suspected reckless driving. The driver had to be revived by medical professionals at the Deseret Hospital at Santa Maria in Accra owing to substantial blood loss.

In retaliation, the claimed soldier allegedly beat the driver up before stabbing him in the skull.

The patient who was taken to the hospital urgently is now being admitted.

Citi News interviewed Michelle Frimpong, a passenger in the victim’s vehicle, who described what happened.

“There was this 4×4 that was behind us, and he did a wrongful overtaking and got in the middle of the road. So then it was too obvious, either we skid off the road or we allow him to use his car to scratch our car. Then the bolt driver stretched out his hand and touched the back of his car. And we said that if you wanted a way, show a traffic indicator and don’t do a wrongful overtaking.

“So just a few minutes, we saw that they had come to park in front of our car. Then this man came down, opened the door of our car, and pulled the bolt driver out of the car. Then the soldier guy came out of the car pulled him back and closed the car. So it was the people around who said that he was stabbed so when I got out of the passenger’s side I realized blood oozing out of his head. So we had to rush him to the hospital,” she narrated.
