Police in Astana have identified and detained the driver of a Hyundai car who was involved in a road confrontation with a public transport driver, the website infohub.kz reports.
The incident was caught on video: eyewitnesses filmed the man behaving aggressively toward the bus driver.
According to police, the man stopped in the bus lane, blocking traffic. He then became aggressive, struck the bus window several times and swore obscenely.
The offender turned out to be a 27-year-old native of the Almaty region.
An administrative case was opened against him for petty hooliganism, and a court ordered him held for 10 days.
"It was also established that the man was driving despite the temporary suspension of his driving licence over unpaid debts. A number of other traffic violations were also recorded, including deliberately obstructing traffic and violating stopping rules. He has been held administratively liable on these grounds," police added.
