A man assaulted a motorcyclist Monday near Ittehad Commercial area in Defence Phase 6, Karachi, after the rider apparently abruptly applied brakes.

The incident, which took place near the Ittehad Commercial area, escalated after the motorcyclist allegedly applied his brakes abruptly, causing the man to lash out in anger.

The sister of the motorcyclist pleaded for an apology at the scene, but her requests were ignored, Express News reported.
