VIDEO: Taxi Driver Charges At Armed Forces Hospital Main Gate, Slams Into Guard

At the Tuanku Mizan Armed Forces Hospital in Wangsa Maju, Kuala Lumpur, a taxi driver in a Proton Saga approaches the main gate when Azhari Mohd Yusoff attempted to hail him down for a security check. 

But instead of slowing down, the taxi maintains its speed, and slams into Azhari. Even after the impact, the taxi doesn’t slow down while forcing its way into the compound, with other personnel giving chase.

Two of them stand their ground at the guard post, and prepare a makeshift barricade with cones and sign posts to try stopping the car from escaping. It didn’t work, and the taxi simply knocked them out of the way too.

The driver of the taxi, T. Ganesan, was subsequently arrested and charged in the Sessions Court with attempted murder. The Malay Mail Online writes that the 44-year old man has a history of mental illness, according to his lawyer Noor Mousa Azaddin.

Noor Mousa added: “The defence requests that the accused be sent to Hospital Bahagia Ulu Kinta (Perak) for a mental evaluation,”

Should the defendant face conviction, he could be looking at a jail term of 20 years. No plea was recorded from Mr Ganesan.
