A video of a man violently attacking a couple’s car in Bengaluru has gone viral on social media. In the video, the enraged biker is seen smashing the windscreen of a car while the couple, who are inside with a baby, desperately plead for him to stop.
The incident happened around 10:30 pm near Doddakannalli on Sarjapur Road on Monday. Reports suggest that the biker got furious when the car turned left without giving any signal.
Citizens Movement, East Bengaluru, shared the video on X, stating, “What’s happening on Sarjapur Road? A family in car is being attacked by bike borne assailants! Please help! The incident happened at 10:30pm at street 1522, Doddakannelli Junction! The couple just reached police station!”
Another post from the group clarified, “A drunk biker, reportedly a bouncer at a Koramangala pub, crashed into the car of a family, then aggressively confronted them, questioning why they applied the brakes. The incident only escalated as he shatters the car’s windshield that injured a 7-month-old child inside. The latter part of the incident was captured on video. The attacker remains in custody and is now facing charges of attempted murder.”

In the video, the man inside the car records as the biker outside screams and attempts to break into the vehicle. After failing to open the door, the biker picks up a large stone, which an onlooker grabs from him. The biker then throws himself on the car’s bonnet and breaks off a windscreen wiper, which he uses to smash the windscreen, causing it to shatter. The couple can be heard shouting and their baby is heard crying.
Despite attempts by security guards to restrain him, the biker continues his attack. The driver repeatedly shouts for him to stop, emphasizing that a baby is inside.
The Bengaluru City police have responded, stating that the biker has been arrested and is currently in custody. “The Bengaluru City police have arrested the culprit and taken him to police station. Waiting for more updates on the case! Thanks for the quick response,” the Citizens Movement’s X account noted in an update.
