"Parking space" fight in Fatih, hair to hair.

On January 1st, Wednesday, in the Ali Kuşçu neighborhood of the Fatih district in Istanbul, the situation escalated over a "parking space" issue during the afternoon hours.

THEY GOT INTO A FIGHT OVER PARKING SPACE

According to reports, a dispute arose between two drivers over a parking space where a vehicle could fit on the street. The argument between the drivers who got out of their vehicles quickly turned into a fight. The drivers fought hair-pulling in the middle of the street for a long time over the parking space. During the fight, a tourist, who was learned to be a British citizen, was assaulted by another woman. Meanwhile, the driver of the other vehicle attempted to run over the woman. Citizens nearby had difficulty separating the parties.

THEY FILED COMPLAINTS AGAINST EACH OTHER

After the fight ended, citizens reacted by saying "This is Turkey" as the British tourist left the scene. It was learned that the fighting parties filed complaints against each other.

"TRIED TO RUN HER OVER"

Eyewitness Ömer Aslan described the events, saying, "Since there is a market here on Wednesdays, people are eager to find parking due to the market traffic and crowd. There was a parking space here. The first gray car that arrived said, 'I will park,' while the driver of the orange vehicle said, 'No, I will park.' Meanwhile, the tourist woman moved into the parking space and made herself a wall of flesh. She did not allow the gray vehicle to pass. The driver of the gray vehicle put it in reverse and did not listen to the woman, even trying to run her over. In the chaos, the man's wife and the tourist got into a hair-pulling fight. Traffic was caused due to the fight. The argument lasted for more than half an hour. The traffic even extended to the fire department due to the argument. We intervened, but since it was a woman, we couldn't intervene much. The people here reacted. The tourist woman, I think, made a gesture towards the driver of the gray car. The man was always taking it lightly, but when the woman made a move, he punched the woman's car. Later, the woman left," he explained.
