It was Sunday, May 31, morning with an aggressive twist. As regular walker, Dr Nitin Salian, Colaba resident, was returning home via D Vyas Marg at approximately 8 am, he saw a car driving down on the wrong side of a one-way lane in Colaba.
The general and laparoscopic surgeon said, “I stopped the car and told the driver he was in a one-way street. An occupant then got out of the car, and both, the driver and passenger started hurling the choicest of abuse at me. I was also punched, and some kicks were flying. I am a senior citizen, but I’m six feet three inches tall and fit. I landed a few punches, and after some intervention, it ended.”
