Fined over illegal parking

It is believed that the confrontation took place on Tuesday (Jan 4) after the officer issued a summon for the motorcyclist for parking illegally at an OKU spot.

Upset over the fine, the motorcyclist then goes into a meltdown and shouts obscenities at the officer, who casually ignores him and makes his way to another vehicle.

However, this only seemed to anger the motorcyclist more, who continued to shout at the officer and even lunged towards him in order to provoke him.

Thankfully, the officer refused to engage with him and pretended that the confrontation never happened at all.
