Driver assaults another after road rage incident in Tashkent

A 36-year-old woman in Tashkent's Yunusabad district has been accused of attacking a 20-year-old man after a road incident. The incident occurred on April 12 in the 13th district of Yunusabad.

According to the capital's Main Department of Internal Affairs, the altercation began after a road accident involving two cars—a Spark, driven by M.Kh. (born in 1989), and a Matiz, driven by S.A. (born in 2005). After the crash, M.Kh. exited her vehicle, used an iron bar to break the windows of the Matiz, and struck S.A. in the head, causing injury. The victim, S.A., was subsequently hospitalized due to the injuries.

The Yunusabad District Internal Affairs Bureau has opened a criminal case under Article 277 of the Criminal Code (hooliganism). The investigation is ongoing.

For context, a similar incident occurred earlier in the Guzar district of the Kashkadarya region, where a Cobalt driver physically resisted a traffic police officer's lawful request and assaulted him.
