A belligerent motorist in a sportscar who claimed to be a triad gangster while threatening a man dubbed Hong Kong’s “most educated minibus driver” in a fit of road rage is being held by the police.

The Porsche driving “triad” who initially fled the scene – was eventually tracked down after his outburst was filmed, posted online, leading police to the registered owner of the sportscar.

Also the self-declared gangster picked the wrong target for his road-rage outburst.

News reports in Hong Kong have identified the mini-bus driver as a well-educated 36-year-old, surnamed Li, who quit a high-paying job to indulge his passion for public service and utilise his master’s degree in transport policy and planning from the University of Hong Kong.

Li is widely respected and works to spread courteous behaviour among fellow drivers and passengers alike, according to Sing Tao Daily.
