Soldier accused of assaulting a Bolt driver over traffic conflict

Following a traffic conflict, a ride-hailing driver linked with Bolt was allegedly beaten by a guy dressed in a military uniform.

The motorist, who had to be revived by medical professionals at the Deseret Hospital at Santa Maria in Accra due to substantial blood loss, allegedly warned military troops about suspected irresponsible driving.

In reaction, the claimed soldier allegedly stabbed the driver in the head before beating him bodily.

The sufferer, who was brought to the hospital for treatment, is presently undergoing therapy.

Michelle Frimpong, a passenger in the victim’s car recounted to Citi News that “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 realised blood oozing out of his head. So we had to rush him to the hospital.”
