Staff correspondent, August 5, 2015

Former Pakistan cricket captain Wasim Akram escaped unhurt after bullets were fired at his Mercedes following a traffic accident on Wednesday.

After the incident, Wasim Akram spoke to local TV cameras explaining his version of the story.

In the video, Wasim Akram says he was driving himself, when a car crashed into his vehicle.

When Wasim Akram asked the driver to pull over, the owner who was sitting in the back seat stepped out and pulled out his gun.

As the accident had stopped other vehicles as well, people got down from their cars  and recognised Wasim Akram. It was then the car owner turned the gun down and fired at the tyres and left the scene in haste.

Wasim Akram said while road rage was normal, settling disputes with weapons was uncalled for.

He had a heated argument which led to one of the passengers in the car opening fire, they said.
