How ironic: maniac attacks the psychologist he desperately
needs...

The evening before last Uğru Balkoca, a psychologist for İBB, the 
Istanbul municipality, left his home in his car together with his pregnant 
wife and their 2-year-old daughter to go to a park in the Kağıthane district 
of the city.  On İmrahor Avenue in the Merkez neighborhood, Balkoca's 
car was cut off by Olcay Kurt, who proceeded to kick Balkoca's car and 
throw a brick through the car window.  In the course of his attack, Kurt 
shouted that he was the chief of staff to Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu, 
but it turned out that he is a bus driver for the city's IETT transportation 
system. (!) 

Balkoca's horrified wife Dilan had the presence of mind to video Kurt's
attack, after which the Balkoca family went to the police station to give
a statement.  Kurt and his companion Nazire İlbasan were brought to the
police station, as well, but Kurt was released after giving his statement. 















Waiting for the Mayor to send his "chief of staff" in for
some head shrinking.  

Balkoca told reporters that "My wife is 11 weeks pregnant, and our 2-year-
old daughter was in the car, too.  As we headed toward the park, the driver
of the car in back of me kept honking and acting oddly.  Suddenly, he cut
me off, got out and started to attack my car, shouting all the while 'I'm
İmamoğlu's chief of staff!'  He had quite an anger attack and threw a brick
through my car window.  My wife had to pick pieces of  broken glass out 
of our daughter's hair!"
