"Later, I called the national emergency number 999 and Banani police intervened."
Efforts were made to contact the Banani Police Station and Gulshan Division Traffic police for comment on the matter but they did not respond.
Sohail further said, "I tried to stop the crowd from vandalising and beating up the driver of the other car but they didn't pay heed."
"I will file a case against the man [driver] if he can be identified," he added.
Meanwhile, some among the crowd said the reckless driver had actually stolen the vehicle he was driving.
