Bengaluru road rage: In a shocking road rage incident on Tuesday night, a Bengaluru family was left traumatised when two men on a motorcycle shattered the rear window of their car, injuring their five-year-old son. The incident unfolded when the attackers confronted the child's father, Anoop, demanding he roll down the car window. After he refused, they hurled a stone at the vehicle, smashing the rear window and causing shards of glass to injure the young boy, who started bleeding.
