Dramatic video shows violent road rage incident in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin

MILWAUKEE (WLS) — Dramatic video shows a violent road rage incident in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

The Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office said the ordeal started on a freeway, ABC affiliated WISN reported.

They said drivers of both cars threw punches before a man pulled out what appears to be a bat and hit the other car with it.

One driver was apprehended, while the other was referred to the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office to face charges of disorderly conduct and criminal damage to property.

It’s not clear which driver faces which charges.

Earlier this week, a road rage shooting on a Milwaukee interstate injured two teens, WISN reported.

A 17-year-old girl, who preferred to remain anonymous, told WISN that she and her boyfriend were traveling in the early morning to watch the sunrise downtown. Just as they were about to leave the downtown area, another car pulled up alongside them.

“We were driving smoothly next to each other. It seemed like he needed to switch lanes,” she explained. “So my boyfriend applied the brakes, and the other driver swerved aside before almost hitting the wall. He braked, honked, slowed down, went around… The honking prompted the other driver to circle back and fire at our windows.”

The shooter fled the scene, according to the victim. She described the suspect’s car as a silver Dodge Journey, which is a SUV. Attempts to reach the sheriff’s office for more information of the shooting case were unsuccessful.
