When tempers flare, reason goes completely out the window. Another violent road rage incident is making headlines in the British and international press, prompting calls from authorities to try and remain calm at the wheel.
Clearly, using a vacuum cleaner (or anything else, for that matter) to try and smash another person’s car is a bad idea. Worse than that is only that of running the guy over with your car, because he had tried to use the vacuum cleaner to break inside it.
It happened yesterday, in Middlesbrough, UK, and it was all caught on camera. You can see the video at the bottom of the page, as posted on social media: it’s actually a collection of shorter videos shot throughout the altercation.
The altercation was actually a 20-minute deadlock, during which the driver of a black Vauxhall Vectra came to blows with the driver of a green Mercedes A180. The Vauxhall driver tried to smash the other man’s car window with a Henry Hoover (truly the most trustworthy British vacuum cleaner!), and was then run down in retaliation.
The good news is that police have both men in custody and – you guessed it – they’re not at the their first offense of the kind, GazetteLive reports.
“Two men have been arrested following a report that a green Mercedes collided with a pedestrian after what appears to be a road rage incident on Victoria Road in Middlesbrough,” a spokesperson for Cleveland Police says. “A 29-year-old man was taken to hospital where he received treatment for minor injuries and was released from hospital.”
“A 20-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of driving a vehicle dangerously and assault occasioning actual bodily harm and a 29-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of affray, criminal damage and possession of an offensive weapon in relation to this alleged incident and another alleged incident in December. Both remain in police custody at this time,” the statement adds.
