Perhaps this story may be a sign of the times in India.

The Express News Service of India reports that a man in India was sitting inside of an office building when he happened to look out of his window and witnessed an accident involving a car and motorcyle. He rushed out to help the victims. While trying to provide aid, another motorcyclist happened to stop as well, and promptly slapped the guy on the ear, popping his eardrum, and rendering him unable to hear in that ear...

"Without having knowledge of the accident, the man abused me, blamed me for the mishap and slapped me. He was in no mood to listen (to) anything. Some more people gathered at the spot. So I called the police control room on 100 number for help," he added.

"Instead of providing some immediate help, the control room police asked me to approach the nearest police station, which was not possible because I was surrounded by people who were holding me responsible for the mishap," he said.

I don't know what the state of road rage is like in India, but I wonder if it's pretty bad. Sounds like commuters there operate with a hair-trigger response to any kind of negative stimulus.

Whatever those folks drink in the morning, they might want to water it down.
