Summary
A road-rage dispute captured on dashcam in Causeway Bay has drawn attention online after one driver got out of his vehicle holding scissors during an argument over a lane change. The footage was said to show the incident at 5:46pm on September 9, when a vehicle turning from Pennington Street into Yee Wo Street was nearly hit by a car cutting in.
Key Points
- Both reports said the video began circulating on social media on September 10 and showed the incident happened at 5:46pm on September 9 in Causeway Bay.
- The dashcam driver was travelling from Pennington Street into Yee Wo Street when a vehicle from the adjacent lane suddenly cut into the lane, nearly causing a collision.
- am730 described the other vehicle as a Toyota multi-purpose vehicle, while on.cc described it as a private car; both said the dashcam driver sounded the horn and shouted after the cut-in.
- The other driver, described as a middle-aged man in on.cc and as a shirt-and-trousers-clad driver in am730, stopped between two lanes and got out holding scissors.
- During the confrontation, the man was heard threatening, in substance, “I’ll cut you” and saying he would at worst go to jail, before returning to his vehicle after the dashcam driver said he had a camera.
Why It Matters
The footage has prompted online discussion not only about dangerous lane-changing but also about alleged criminal intimidation and possession of a weapon during a traffic dispute. For Hong Kong motorists, the episode underlines how quickly routine road conflicts can escalate when drivers confront each other instead of disengaging.
