Bengaluru, Jan 17: The Bengaluru city police have arrested five men for assaulting a biker, his brother and a woman in an incident of road rage on New Year's night.
The incident that happened at Mottappanapalaya in Indiranagar 6th stage and captured on CCTV cameras shows that a gang of at least 12 drunk men partying on middle of the road obstructing traffic, when a biker riding triple with his brother and a woman, brushes against one of the members.

The police are also on the lookout for others who were involved in the assault.
“Since we have the footage, we have taken up a suo-motu case and have arrested five persons. It was a case of road rage. The incident happened on the New Year's night," Additional Commissioner of Police (East) Seemanth Kumar Singh told media.
