As he was driving further to look for a proper place to stop his taxi, a man allegedly dragged him out of the vehicle and assaulted him.

However, eyewitnesses said that as he was in the middle of a traffic light junction, he decided to drive a short distance away before stopping.

They also said they later saw a second man on a different, larger motorcycle drag him out and start raining punches on him.

Chen fell unconscious on the road before passers-by called an ambulance.

Chen Guang’s son, Hiew Chun Wei, 37, said his father had a broken nose, severe bruises on his face and internal bleeding in the head.

“The doctors tried to stop the bleeding by performing an operation a few days ago but it has not stopped. If it continues, he will be in a vegetative state or may never wake up from his coma,” he said yesterday.

The 66-year-old victim of road rage has died on Monday evening after being in a coma for a week. Taxi driver Hiew Chen Guang died at 2.55pm at the University Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre (UKMMC).

City CID chief Senior Asst Comm Datuk Ku Chin Wah said that the case is being investigated for murder under Section 302 of the Penal Code.

He has urged witnesses to come forward with information on the incident.
