After the footage that made headlines in Turkey, a detention order was issued for the driver Ozan Canyürek.
The incident occurred yesterday in Cumhuriyet Mahallesi. A father, Ö.K., walking on the way to school with his two children, verbally warned the driver of a luxury SUV that passed by them at high speed. Angered by the father's reaction, the driver drove a short distance before turning back and cutting off the father's path. The driver, who got out of the vehicle, had a brief argument with the father standing next to his children. As the argument escalated, the driver lost control, grabbed the father's throat, and slapped him in front of his children.
While the footage of the incident caused an uproar, it was learned that the driver, whose name is Ozan Canyürek (33), and his 17-year-old brother C.C. were detained by police teams yesterday.
ARREST OF THE DRIVER, HOUSE ARREST FOR THE BROTHER
Justice Minister Yılmaz Tunç, who announced the driver's arrest, stated, "Regarding the physical assault on a citizen by a driver speeding in front of his children in the Gebze district of Kocaeli province, the suspect driver, who was detained for the crimes of 'Intentional Injury and Endangering Traffic Safety,' has been arrested by the Magistrate's Court, and a house arrest decision has been issued for the suspect under 18 years old."
"I AM CLOSING THE MOUTH OF THE MAN WHO CURSES"
Meanwhile, when the driver Ozan Canyürek was taken to the courthouse and asked, "Why did you do it?", he replied, "I am closing the mouth of the man who curses, look closely at the video. Comment accordingly. I also have my child with me, and he is cursing."
