The incident happened Wednesday night when the Gagandeep Singh (33), a Gurugram-based taxi driver, was travelling with his mother to his in-laws place in Vikaspuri. The e-rickshaw driver, Rajendra, was arrested later, they said.

"Singh stopped at a red light on Dabri-Dwarka Road when an e-rickshaw hit the rear of his car. An argument broke out after Singh stepped out to confront the e-rickshaw driver. During the scuffle, the e-rickshaw driver allegedly took out a blade concealed under his tongue and slashed Singh's neck," a senior police officer said.

Despite the injury, Singh managed to call the police and passers-by caught the attacker and handed him over to police.

Rajendra, a resident of Rajapuri in Matiala, was arrested and a case was registered against him, police said.
