It happened at around 4:40 PM, near a small roadside tea stall beside the highway. Traffic was light. Around 15–20 people were present.
A middle-aged biker arrived at high speed on a modified motorcycle. Loud exhaust. No helmet visor down. He parked carelessly, blocking the stall entrance.
An elderly man, approximately 65–70 years old, was standing near the stall. He appeared weak and slow. He was holding a cloth bag and counting coins.
The biker shouted at him.
Witnesses say the biker told the old man to “move away” aggressively. The old man replied calmly and said he would move in a moment.
The biker lost patience.
Without warning, he pushed the old man with both hands.
The old man fell straight onto the road. His coins scattered. He struggled to get up but failed. People gasped. No one intervened immediately.
The biker laughed and made insulting remarks about old people being “useless” and “a burden.”
At that moment, a man in US Army uniform was seen crossing the road. He had a duffel bag on his shoulder. He noticed the incident and immediately ran toward the old man.
Multiple witnesses confirmed that the soldier shouted “Dad!”
The soldier helped the old man up and checked his condition. The old man was visibly shaken and bleeding slightly from his elbow.
The soldier then stood up and confronted the biker.
He asked him why he pushed his father.
The biker responded aggressively and mocked the soldier’s uniform. Witnesses heard him say, “Uniform doesn’t scare me.”
The soldier demanded an apology.
The biker refused.
The soldier punched the biker.
The biker fell backward into his motorcycle. The situation escalated immediately.
Both men began fighting in the middle of the road.
The biker used street fighting techniques—headbutts, kicks, and tried to grab nearby objects. The soldier fought with controlled but powerful movements.
During the fight, the biker picked up a metal rod lying near the stall and struck the soldier’s shoulder. The soldier staggered but did not fall.
The soldier disarmed the biker and pinned him to the ground.
At this point, the old man shouted at his son to stop. He begged him not to continue.
The soldier released the biker and stepped away.
The biker stood up, humiliated and angry. He threatened the soldier verbally and said he would “return.”
The biker left the scene.
The soldier helped his father home. No police were called at that time.

Three days later, around 6:10 PM, the same biker returned. This time, he arrived with four other bikers.

The old man was again near the tea stall.

The biker then pulled out a knife.
The crowd panicked. Some people ran. Others started recording.
The soldier moved toward the biker.
