An Amazon driver in California punched a 71-year-old man at a gas station after accusing him of taking his parking spot — the violent encounter, captured on video, has sparked outrage. The elderly auditor suffered a concussion and neck pain, while the driver was arrested on felony battery and elder abuse charges. His attorney claims this isn’t an isolated incident, raising alarms about Amazon’s hiring and training practices. Amazon swiftly removed the driver from its roster, but the viral footage has ignited public scrutiny over how delivery drivers are vetted and managed — a sobering reminder that tempers can spiral dangerously out of control.
