A 23-year-old courier delivery worker was allegedly stabbed by a group of four men for honking at them while they blocked a road in east Bengaluru’s Banaswadi area. According to the complaint lodged by Appu, a resident of Sathyanagar, the violent incident unfolded between 10 pm and 10.30 pm on May 9 while he was returning home after work. As he reached I Cross, he reportedly found a group of men obstructing the road and refusing to let him pass.
Appu honked and asked the men to make way, but the situation spiralled into a heated confrontation. The accused allegedly picked a quarrel with him, and during the altercation, one of the men stabbed Appu on the upper left side of his chest.
Hearing his cries for help, local residents and passers-by rushed to the spot, forcing the attackers to flee before they could cause further harm.
