We’re used to seeing road rage incidents turn violent – sadly so –, but what most of them have in common is the involvement of both parts, to one extent or another. This wasn’t the case here, one driver from Orlando, Florida, tells ClickOrlando.
This was an unjustified attack, because the driver didn’t do anything wrong. Or so she believes. Speaking with the publication under the condition of anonymity, the woman says she had just pulled out of a gas station when she found herself surrounded by bikers. She made sure she gave way to them, she says.
She was with her sister-in-law and her child in the car, but she still became very panicked when the bikers started hitting the car. One of them punched the mirror on the passenger side, and another moved in on the driver’s side.
By then, the sister-in-law was filming the whole thing on her phone from the passenger seat and she provided the footage to the publication – and the police. The biker who punched the mirror on the driver side also reached inside to make a grab for the woman’s phone, hoping this would prevent her from talking to the police.
“The police were telling me to stop and pull over,” the woman says. “I told him I can’t do that because if I do that, they can attack me again.”
When the bikers left, the woman and her sister-in-law went home and filed a police report. She wants the bikers prosecuted, but as of the time of writing, cops are yet to identify them and are reaching out to any members of the public who might have clues about their identity.
“It was anger – pure anger,” the woman says of the unprovoked attack. “How come you’re attacking a person that you don’t know?”
