‘Why You Hit Me Like That?’: Tourist Attacks Gozitan Bus Driver Near Xlendi Bay
A tourist attacked a Gozitan driver in the streets of Xlendi Bay as other tourists attempt to stop the attacker and the traditional Ġostra occurs in the background.
In a video posted by Josef Karl Bajada, the person who filmed the fight, the driver can be heard asking “Why you hit me like that?” as the tourist looks at him aggressively.
“Road rage argument leads a tourist to aggressively hit Gozitan bus driver in Xlendi during Xlendi Bay Ġostra. Yesterday 4pm,” Bajada said alongside the video.
As the fight ends, one tourist asks bystanders to call the police on the attacker. The calls of the Ġostra presenter, who is unaware of the fight happening nearby, can be heard in the video as well.
The fight seemed to have resulted from a road rage incident, as the tourist attempts to enter his car, which is parked right near the bus, following the fight. It is as yet unknown whether a crash between the bus and the car precipitated the tourist attacking the Gozitan driver.
