Mumbai, Mar 19 (PTI) A man was arrested here on Wednesday for allegedly killing a person by attacking him with a concrete block during a road rage incident in Santacruz (East), police said.
Ahmed Ansari, the accused, had allegedly hit Omprakash Mahul Sharma (41) with a `paver block' (used to pave footpaths) on Sunday.
Ansari, who was riding a motorbike with his wife, suddenly stopped in front of Sharma which led to a heated argument, the official said.
