Drunk driver attacks strangers at crossroad

A drunk driver attacked four people yesterday and was accused of causing public disorder by prosecutors of Pudong New Area.

The man surnamed Liu was driving his car to Zhuqiao Town in Pudong and when he was stopped by red light at the crossroad of Zhuhui Road and Zhujing Road. A man riding a tricycle asked Liu to make way for him to cross.

Liu climbed out of his car, overturned the man's tricycle and chased him with a knife. The man had to run into the woods for his life. Just then, another car went by and Liu smashed the car window with his knife. Two people in the car also had to run into the woods.

Then Liu assaulted a woman riding a scooter, causing her to fall from the scooter and suffer bruises.

He was eventually apprehended by police and confessed that he drank half a bottle of liquor before driving and had lost control.
