One of the occupants is heard saying:
"You no wan hear word, we go show you. If we reach a far place, we go drop you and see what you’ll do, because you be soldier, abi?"
The incident sparked outrage online, with users divided over whether the driver’s actions were reckless or a bold response to perceived harassment by uniformed personnel.
