     Suffers from terminal 'spoiledbratitis'.

In Istanbul's Hadımköy district, Dadaş Aras (28), the father of three

children who works in the packaging business, was driving along 

the Başakşehir road to deliver a 30,000 TL payment to a relative 

the evening before last.  

A luxury minibus (plate nr. 34 PMI 55) with an (illegal) VIP flasher 

and tinted windows approached Aras's pick-up from the rear  and 

wanted Aras to move out of the way.  At that  moment the road 

width didn't allow Aras to yield but when it did he moved over to 

let the minibus pass.  

However (!), the enraged minibus driver, Muhammed Enes Uysal, 

cut off Aras, got out of his vehicle and proceeded to announce that 

he was a policeman.  After cursing at Aras, who recorded the 

incident on his phone, Uysal punched Aras and then stabbed him 

six times with a knife.(!)  Uysal fled, evidently with Aras's 30,000 

TL (!), as Aras sought help from passers-by, being taken to a 

hospital where he underwent surgery and is in good condition.  

It turns out that Uysal, who is the rich son of an industrialist and

NOT a policeman, has a police record for six different crimes.  

After the incident Uysal put his luxury minibus up for sale on the 

internet but soon after he removed the advertisement and closed 

all his social media accounts.  Police found the minibus in 

Hadımköy and brought it to an impoundment lot.  Uysal is now the 

subject of an intense police search.   

                        What's a dad to do?

Aras explained that Uysal had said to him "'I'm a policeman! Why

didn't you move over?!' When he asked me for my license and 

registration, I wanted him to show me his police ID.  Then he took

out his gun and cursed at me, as I recorded the whole thing."  

"As I was walking back to my car, he punched me in the back of my 

head and started stabbing me.  I could see that he got into my 

pick-up and ruffled through my things.  My wallet and ID card were 

found under my pick-up but the 30,000 TL that was in the glove 

compartment was gone, evidently stolen by the attacker.  I pleaded

with him not to stab me, screaming that I had kids.  The police later

told me that the attacker has a police record and is the son of a 

businessman."
