Angry because of being called to confirm the pick-up point, drunk male passenger slapped the driver while the bus was running.
While explaining to a passenger, a driver of Hung Huong bus (Nghe An) was suddenly slapped hard in the face while the bus was moving. The incident caused outrage in the online community.
On August 3, a clip appeared on social media recording the incident that occurred on the evening of July 28 on a bus from Ha Tinh to the southern provinces. According to the camera, the driver and a male passenger sitting in the front bed of the bus were talking back and forth. While the driver maintained a peaceful attitude, the passenger continued to swear, then suddenly jumped up and slapped the driver hard in the face.
The driver is known to work for Hung Huong bus company, located in Quan Thanh commune, Nghe An province. The male passenger was picked up near Ron bridge (Quang Tri), showed signs of having consumed alcohol and was unhappy because he was called to confirm the pick-up location. Despite the driver's clear explanation, the man still attacked him.
Mr. Hoang Van Hung, owner of Hung Huong bus company, said that his facility has many vehicles, so this customer may have used it a few times before. However, the driver in the clip picked up this customer for the first time, so calling to confirm the pick-up location was necessary. The driver also explained with an appropriate attitude when the customer got on the bus.
The incident involving this passenger was later reported by the bus company and handed over to the Traffic Police Team at the beginning of Dong Hoi bypass. The clip was provided by the bus company to assist the authorities in handling the matter.
Although the bus company was asked to cooperate, because the bus was on the way and had many passengers, they suggested reminding and warning this person. “Fortunately, no serious incident occurred. This person realized his mistake, so they were given a chance to correct it,” said Mr. Hung.
The incident received many angry comments from the online community. Most opinions said that the act of attacking a driver while the vehicle was moving was extremely dangerous, threatening the lives of many people, and needed to be dealt with severely as a deterrent.
