Drunk Grab Customer Rages, Smashes Windshield and Assaults Driver

 



A distressing incident involving an aggressive passenger and a Grab driver in Malaysia has garnered attention following a viral social media post by the affected driver on December 4, 2025. The driver, who operates at night to earn extra income for his children’s schooling, detailed a violent encounter with an intoxicated customer that resulted in significant physical injury and damage to his vehicle.

The incident began in the early hours of December 3, 2025, at approximately 12:40 AM. The driver picked up the customer, whom he described as a "Type C customer" and intoxicated, noting that he is accustomed to transporting drunk passengers as he typically drives only at night.

Upon reaching the designated destination, the situation quickly escalated when the customer refused to exit the vehicle. The passenger made an immediate and unusual demand, stating he would only leave the car if the driver gave him 20 dollars. Complicating the matter, the driver had already lined up his next customer, who was scheduled for pickup at the exact same drop-off location.

When the customer's demand was not met, the passenger reportedly flew into a rage. The driver described the customer's aggressive behavior as including "raging kicking in the car" and violently smashing the car's windshield. The physical violence did not stop there. The passenger then allegedly hit the driver and also attempted to attack the next customer who was waiting nearby.

The driver immediately took the necessary follow-up actions. A police report was filed regarding the assault and damage, and the driver underwent a health checkup. According to the driver's statement, a doctor at HKL (Hospital Kuala Lumpur) confirmed that he had been beaten using a blunt weapon and suffered a head tissue torn as a result of the attack, underscoring the severity of the assault.

In the wake of the incident, the driver attempted to seek support and compensation from Grab, the ride-hailing platform. However, the driver reported receiving unsatisfactory assistance. The driver stated that Grab informed him the company "doesn't cover my car damage". Regarding the assailant, Grab only imposed a disciplinary measure by banning the customer's account. For further actions, the driver was told by Grab to "wait for them to call me."

The driver expressed extreme frustration and disappointment with the platform's response, claiming a lack of follow-through from the company. He reported having made a formal report twice and following up with three phone calls to Grab, but as of the time of his viral post, he had received no calls or emails from the company regarding the incident.

Feeling abandoned by the platform and facing significant financial burden from the severe car damage and medical expenses, the driver turned to social media for help. He concluded his plea by urging the public to share his video (which he promised to upload later, showing the customer's mad state) to raise awareness of his plight and pressure the company to take more comprehensive action. This incident raises significant concerns regarding the safety and support provided to ride-hailing drivers, particularly those working late-night shifts in Malaysia.

Man Charged for Making Prank Calls and Throwing Eggs at Police Cars

  A 28 year old man is facing serious charges after allegedly making 18 prank calls to the police and vandalizing their vehicles. Davin Lian Ke Xiang appeared in court on March 25 2026 accused of a campaign of harassment that lasted over a month. Investigators found that he used a lost identity card to get a phone line which he then used to report fake crimes between February and March. The most shocking part is that on three separate days in March when officers arrived at the scenes he reportedly waited for them to step out of their cars before throwing eggs at the police vehicles. In court the man claimed he only did it because he was feeling stressed and asked for a psychiatric checkup instead of being locked up. However the judge ordered him to be kept in remand for a week while the police finish their work. It turns out he was already in trouble with the law for earlier charges of trespassing and intimidation back in 2025 and was out on a remission order at the time. Now he fa...

American Brothers Jailed in Singapore for Armed Standoff!

  Three American brothers were sentenced on Dec 5 for possessing knives during a confrontation at Orchard Plaza in Singapore.

The incident began during their vacation in Singapore. After visiting nightclubs, Alexis and Alejandro had a dispute at Tai Heng Teochew Porridge Stall on July 27, 2024.

The trio, fearing being outnumbered, armed themselves with knives, a frying pan, and a bottle of cleaner from a supermarket....
