Elderly Rider Vows Legal Action After MG Driver Punches Him
A 70-year-old delivery rider was punched by an MG sedan driver at a Bangkok gas station on July 26 after parking in an EV charging spot, leaving him with injuries requiring six stitches and vowing legal action.
A 70-year-old food delivery rider has vowed to take legal action against an MG sedan driver who punched him at a gas station in Minburi, Bangkok on July 26. The incident began when the rider parked his motorcycle in an empty EV charging spot while collecting a fried banana order. When he returned, an MG sedan owner was waiting to use the charging spot. The rider quickly took a photo and moved his bike, but the driver and his wife in the MG began honking and verbally abusing him, escalating to physical violence when the man got out and punched the rider in the face, causing a cut under his right eye that required six stitches.
The victim reported the incident to Minburi Police Station and received medical treatment. He stated he has been a delivery rider for 10 years and has never experienced such an attack. His left eye is now in significant pain, preventing him from eating or sleeping, and he has been forced to stop working. He disputes the driver's claim that he spat on them, pointing out he was wearing a face mask. The victim emphasized he is pursuing this case through the legal system to its conclusion, and urged people not to bring their home behavior into public society.
