A taxi driver has been arrested after allegedly threatening another taxi driver with a knife in a road-rage incident.


Seocho police said Friday that the driver, surnamed Kim, 74, got angry when another taxi driver, also surnamed Kim, 62, tried to come into his lane near Nonhyun Station in Seoul.

Footage from a blackbox camera shows the first Kim taking a knife from the trunk of his car after the taxis stopped at a traffic light. He then threatened the other driver with the knife, according to police

"The owner-driver cabby tried to block my way and invade the lane," the first Kim, who works for a taxi company, told police.
