Television host Quan Yifeng has hired prominent criminal lawyer Subhas Anandan to represent her after she was embroiled in a 'taxi rage' incident last Saturday.
Mr Anandan, 63, who is also the president of Association of Criminal Lawyers, told Life! over the telephone yesterday: 'Quan has contacted us and I am acting for her. She has denied the allegations that the cab driver has raised against her, and has also said that she is the injured party.'
As the 36-year-old actress is currently filming in Mauritius, she has told the lawyer that she will provide details of what happened when she returns on Friday.
On Sunday, Lianhe Wanbao reported that the famous motormouth host got into a fight with a taxi driver, identified in reports only as 52-year-old Mr Tan.
It is a case of he-said-she-said as both parties told their stories to the Chinese media.
The taxi driver claimed that she hit him, locked herself in the taxi for 15 minutes to destroy it, ruined the meter and stereo, before pouring water on his things and scattered his change everywhere. She allegedly took his car keys as well.
Quan told Wanbao he drove dangerously and slammed a car door on her. She was in the taxi with a man, identified in reports yesterday as her assistant Ah Lu, and her 11-year-old daughter.
Yesterday, Shin Min Daily News also quoted an unnamed female witness who claimed to have heard Quan and Mr Tan shouting at each other. Quan refuted the claim and told Wanbao that she could not open her mouth to scream and quarrel as she had just removed her wisdom tooth recently.
The cab driver also took a photo of Quan putting her right hand up in a V sign and claimed that she seemed to be declaring victory. But Quan said she was merely showing her daughter that she was fine, as her daughter was very worried about her.
This is not the first time the TV host has been in a public altercation. In 1996, she was involved in a fight with a bowling alley attendant and was fined $1,000.
A police spokesman told Life! that the incident is currently under investigation: 'Police received a call on June 26 at about 8.45am, of a dispute at the junction of Upper East Coast Road and Bedok South Avenue 1. Upon police arrival, it was established that the female taxi passenger has taken the car key and left. Police investigations are still ongoing.'
