Boston police are looking for a man they say attacked a driver and his vehicle with a hatchet in a late Friday night road rage incident.

Authorities have identified the suspect as 27-year-old Andrew Oprian and have issued a warrant for his arrest, charging him with assault with a dangerous weapon and malicious destruction of property, WCVB reported.

“The suspect reportedly chased the victim in his vehicle at a high speed, resulting in the victim’s crash,” stated the Boston Police Department. “The suspect then left their vehicle, a gray pickup truck, with a hatchet, attacked the victim, and vandalized the victim’s vehicle after they fled. This included breaking the windows and windshield, and the suspect drove away on Babcock Street towards Brookline.”

Police released videos showing the violent attack, showing Oprian smashing the victim’s car windows.

As reported by Boston 25, the incident took place shortly before midnight. A witness informed the station that the victim was driving a Toyota Prius while being pursued at high speed by the suspect in a pickup truck.

“He had no idea why the guy had been following him. He had no clue. He was shocked,” said witness Matt Silva.

Oprian remains at large.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Boston police at 617-343-4260 or submit an anonymous tip through the CrimeStoppers Tip Line by phone at 1-800-494-TIPS, by texting “TIP” to CRIME (27463) or online.
