A man from the west coast, known for driving a Tesla and attacking other drivers, including a 74-year-old woman, found himself in the midst of a new altercation. This time, however, he wasn’t the aggressor but rather the victim of an attack, as reported by authorities.
A photo posted to Instagram purportedly shows a bloodied Nathaniel Walter Radimak at a hospital in Hawaii.
According to a spokesperson from the prison system, fellow inmates allegedly assaulted him. He was recently apprehended in connection with two reported incidents in Honolulu. One involved allegedly attacking a mother and her teenage daughter during a parallel parking practice, and the other concerned allegedly assaulting a woman at a gym.
“Nathaniel Radimak was reportedly attacked by other inmates in a living area at the Halawa Correctional Facility,” stated public information officer Rosemarie Bernardo, according to Los Angeles ABC affiliate KABC. “He suffered facial and torso injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital for medical care.”
That incident remains under investigation.
Radimak attained infamy for a series of road rage attacks in Southern California dating back to January 2020, even going after as far as to wield a metal pipe during the attacks. Victims of his attacks and threats included a 74-year-old woman.
A court in 2023 sentenced him to five years behind bars, but he was paroled after serving less than one year of that sentence. He wound up in Hawaii, where authorities say he, again driving a Tesla, attacked an 18-year-old and her mother in Honolulu.
He is charged in that incident, but a third woman told local outlets she also had a violent run-in with Radimak at a Planet Fitness, where he allegedly ranted at her, threatened to hit her in the face, and took a swing at her. The woman provided Hawaii News Now with footage appearing to show the incident.
“It’s really terrifying,” she told Honolulu ABC affiliate KITV. “He’s proven time and time again that he’s a threat to society and especially to women.”
