The bikers could be seen driving on the Guntur road in zig-zag fashion and when the car owner honked to overtake them, they in a fit of rage abused him & physically attacked him.
One of the bikers also rammed his bike in the car. Sensing trouble, the car owner apologized and tried to leave the spot. But the bikers stalked him and blocked his way near a residential apartment. It was there he smashed the windshield of the car while assaulting him as well.
