The incident took place in the central Nilüfer district, Odunluk Mahallesi, in the evening last week. Under the direction of Ahmet Ünal, the front of the 16 M 10012 private public minibus on the Misi-Acemler line was intercepted by a 16 JBV 79 plate vehicle in the Odunluk District while on the way to the Acemler. A person getting out of the vehicle got into the minibus through the door opened by the driver Ahmet Ünal to pick up the passenger at the station. Meanwhile, another person who got out of the vehicle got in front of the minibus and started to insult and threaten Ünal. Although he was waiting at the bus stop to get on the minibus, he and his friend, who claimed that he continued on the road without him, battered Ahmet Ünal.
The neighborhood guard, who was present as a civilian passenger in the minibus when the attackers attacked the driver, Ahmet Ünal, tried to calm 2 people. However, the two angry people started attacking the guard as well. The two people, who wanted the neighborhood guard to show their identity card, acted on the guard profession and swore after checking the identity card. 2 attackers got out of the van after the intervention of other passengers waiting at the station. Taking this opportunity, Ünal closed the doors of the minibus. Then, the driver Unal sprayed pepper gas on the 2 attackers who opened the door with the driver. After 2 people moved away from the van due to pepper gas, the minibus continued. Unal and the guard went to the police station and complained about the people who attacked him. After the complaint, the two attackers were brought to the police station and their statements were taken. The two assailants, whose statements were taken, were released.
ATTACK ON INSTANT SECURITY CAMERA
The moments when the minibus driver Ünal and the guard were attacked were recorded on the security cameras of the minibus. The footage was reflected in the attackers hitting the minibus driver and the guard, punching and kicking the windows of the van, cursing and insulting the neighborhood guard, the minibus driver spraying tear gas to neutralize the attackers, and the attackers continuing on the road after the attackers disembarked.
‘THEY STARTED TO FOLLOW THE BUS WITH THEIR VEHICLES’
Minibus driver Ahmet Ünal stated that when he approached a stop in Çamlıca Neighborhood, he slowed down to see if there were any passengers, but when he did not see any passengers, he continued on his way. When they continued on the bus route, they started to follow the bus by car. While I was cruising towards the Novice, I approached a stop in Çamlıca Mahallesi. I checked if there were any passengers to get on at the station, but when I could not see anyone, I continued on my way. At that time, the people who attacked me were waiting in their vehicles at the station. I think they were going to put a friend next to them in the van, but I could not get the passenger with them because I did not see it. Then I continued on my way and did not stop as there were no passengers to get off or on during the 4 stops ”.
‘BEKÇİYE DE SALDIRDILAR’
Unal said that a person who learned that he was a guard after the incident got on one of the stops and said, “When I came to the stop in Odunluk, I heard the horn sounds of the vehicle coming from behind me, but I did not understand whether they were ringing to me. I approached the station to pick up passengers and 2 people broke their car in front of me. I still didn’t understand what was happening. I opened the door so that the passenger could get on. Just then one of the people getting out of the car got into the minibus. His other friend came to the window and started insulting me. They started to insult me by telling me that I hadn’t stopped for 4 stops. I said that I did not stop because there was no passenger and I did not see anyone. At that time, there was a young man on the bus, which I later learned was a guard. The guard friend intervened and tried to calm the persons, but they also attacked him. They wanted to see his identity, and when they saw it, they insulted him. We feel sorry for going through such things. Our aim is to serve the public. When the people got off the bus, I somehow found the opportunity and continued on my way so that the discussion would not continue and something bad would not happen. The attackers did not follow me again, “he said.
