Enraged Vehicle Driver Throws a Nasty Punch on a Jeepney Driver over an alleged minor mistake

It can be quite stressful when driving around the busy roads and streets of Manila. Traffic is always prominent, and most of the time drivers and motorists run out of patience due to the slow-moving traffic coupled with some drivers who bypass traffic rules. Huge buses and jeepneys also clog the road, making Manila a test of patience for many motorists.

Unfortunately, a jeepney driver fell victim to a simple misunderstanding on the road which led to a physical abuse by a vehicular driver. Vincent S., a witness to the incident, elaborated the events of Mang Henry, a jeepney driver who was physically hurt by an enraged driver.

Henry Fernandez or Fernando is the man in the picture. A jeepney driver. (I’m not sure if I got his surname right, he was already very dizzy when I asked him and I couldn’t see his ID)
This was the scenario. The jeep I was riding was journeying through across Puregold when a silver Toyota Vios with plate number AAW 5042 suddenly made a u-turn. Mang Henry quickly stepped on the breaks and made a turn to avoid hitting the car. He did not hit the car. The car on the other hand stopped and the driver got off. He was a little dark with a strong built. He turned Beast ode and forcefully pulled Mang Henry out of the jeepney, claiming his car was damaged. Mang Henry’s shirt was torn in the process.

So Mang Henry got off the jeep, he looked calm, probably thinking that he might have really hit the guy’s car. They both looked at the car but it seemed as though the driver was pointing to the wrong side of the car. Then I took a peek, there shouldn’t be a scratch since the jeep was far from the car. I also noticed the car’s signal was not on, so I think the car driver was also wrong since he was the one who suddenly made a u-turn. I was taken by surprise when the driver just suddenly punched Mang Henry who wasn’t doing anything but calmly talking. He hit him near the ear and I was shocked as blood started trickling down Mang Hentry’s clothes as he walked back to the jeep. The car driver quickly got in his car and sped up southband (toward Monument0). He escaped.

When I checked on Mang Henry, there was a deep cut near his ear. I’m not sure if the car driver had a ring or some sort of steel. We quickly called the traffic enforcer and tried to find the Vios (I don’t know what happened). Then we called a rescue team. I waited for help to arrive so I could give my side of the story and to ensure Mang Henry’s safety before I left for work.

In all honesty, I was shocked by the whole incident. It’s as if the car driver was possessed by a devil. Mang Henry was calm when he spoke you, yet this is what happened. The jeepney driver is simply working hard to earn a living. Now what? He will not be able to work for several days because of what you did to him. You are too arrogant. I am not sure if you are trying to show off, to think you had your wife and kids in the car with you. I guess they couldn’t stop you because they were also afraid of you.

It would be of great help for Mang Henry if the suspect could be identified. If any of you know the identity of the man, kindly report to the authorities so it will he handled with properly. There are certainly two sides to the story, but for now this is all the information that was gathered and certainly Mang Henry suffered greatly regarding this incident. Hopefully the suspect is captured and give an explanation on his side so we can get the idea on how the incident truly unfolded.
