Police arrested three suspects after a woman and her son were attacked by three drunk men riding triple seats on bikes in a road rage incident in the Palm Beach area of Navi Mumbai on Thursday (November 14). The Rabale police arrested one accused after a passerby was nabbed at the time of the incident.
The incident occurred at Ghansoli on Palm Beach when a woman named Nikhita Handroe and her 5-year-old son were travelling by car towards Koparkhairane when she was attacked by three drunk men on a bike. After her car overtook their bike, an argument erupted between a man and a woman with a child. One of the three men broke her car's windshield with an iron rod. As the woman raised an alarm, she was also attacked with the iron rod. To save her son from getting hurt, she shielded the attack with her hand and sustained an injury.
