A Bolt ride-hailing driver was stabbed by a man wearing a military uniform following a traffic dispute.

Despite suffering from significant blood loss, medical staff at the Deseret Hospital in Santa Maria, Accra, were able to successfully revive the motorist.

It was reported by Citinewsroom.com that the driver warned the soldier about reckless driving before the altercation.

Responding to the driver’s warning, the unidentified soldier reportedly attacked the driver and stabed his head.

Michelle Frimpong, a passenger in the victim’s car, recounted the alleged traffic dispute that led to the stabbing.

“There was this 4×4 that was behind us, and he did a wrongful overtaking and got in the middle of the road. So then it was too obvious, either we skid off the road or we allow him to use his car to scratch our car. Then the bolt driver stretched out his hand and touched the back of his car. And we said that if you wanted a way, show a trafficator and don’t do a wrongful overtaking.

“So just a few minutes, we saw that they had come to park in front of our car. Then this man came down, opened the door of our car, and pulled the bolt driver out of the car. Then the soldier guy came out of the car pulled him back and closed the car.

“So it was the people around who said that he was stabbed so when I got out of the passenger’s side I realized blood oozing out of his head. So we had to rush him to the hospital.” Citinewsroom.com quoted him as having said.

The police service is yet to initiate a probe into the matter to establish the facts and deal with the culprit.
