An elderly truck driver was assaulted by a man induced in a fit of road rage after the truck hit the man’s car on Interstate-95 in Maryland.
Video footage of this attack was taken by Thomas Solis who had witnessed what had happened.
According to Solis, “He was just trying to rush in and cut the truck driver off. The car pulled in front of the trucker. He had no choice but to stop because the guy parked his car and got out.”
The driver then approached the truck’s window and began punching the old man and eventually dragged him out. That was when Solis took out his phone.
Eventually, Solis and his friend intervened to try and stop the violence.
‘It was more of instinct than anything,” He told ABC 7. “We weren’t looking for any kind of trouble. We were just trying to keep the guy from getting hurt.”
However, the man wouldn’t back down and even got in Solis’ friend’s face. That’s when the man got a taste of his own medicine and became real close with the asphalt.
“He said, ‘Nice shot,’ which was hilarious, hilarious,” Solis described in an interview with NBC 11. “His eyes were slightly open, but he wasn’t there. When he got knocked out, his feet were still in the road. That’s why I rolled him over so his feet wouldn’t get run over by the truck when he left.”
The incident was never reported to the police so the man was not arrested, but hopefully that knock-out and the public shaming will teach him a valuable lesson.
