Not everything is wrong and despicable about the latest racist-ranting incident in Auckland where a Kiwi-Indian driver was allegedly cornered, hurled abuses and possibly threatened by an impatient driver.
There is a positive side of the story as well, as Indian Weekender has been told that a compassionate fellow Kiwi driver, a Pakeha woman, who had witnessed the entire ranting-incident, had stopped her car to support the victim, apologised for victim’s unfortunate experience and also called the police to report the incident.
This is the second instance of racist ranting against Indian-New Zealander within last two weeks in Auckland.
Apparently, tailgating was the reason behind the racist slur at this instance, unlike in the earlier instance at South Auckland storage facility, where over speeding was the alleged factor leading to hurling of a racist rant.
This alleged incident happened sometime last week on a weeknight at 5 p.m., when Narenderveer Singh was threatened by a fellow car driver seen on the video going viral on social media apparently ‘unpleased’ with Mr Singh’s driving on the road.
Speaking to Indian Weekender, Narenderveer Singh, the victim of racist slur acknowledged the kindness and helped offered by that compassionate fellow car-driver.
“She parked her car and came to me apologising for that man’s behaviour and said that she has been noticing his reckless driving all the way,” Mr Singh said.
“She does not want to come out and speak with media and expect everyone to respect her privacy,” Mr Singh further said.
When the alleged offender had approached Mr Singh again when he stopped on a side street parking, Sarah was scared and immediately went back to her car.
It was only then that Mr Singh realised that the lady had a child in her car and she was rightly scared about the safety of her child.
“I was surprised and touched by her kindness to help even with a child of her own in the car,” Mr Singh said.
The incident has been reported to Police, and a police spokesperson can only confirm that “a complaint has been made about this matter and enquiries are ongoing.”
