Police in Boston, Massachusetts, identified a man allegedly caught on camera hitting someone’s car with a hatchet in an apparent road rage incident.

The Boston Police Department revealed that 27-year-old Andrew Oprian faces charges of assault with a dangerous weapon and intentional destruction of property, as per a report by Boston 25.

Police said that Oprian allegedly chased someone with his car “at a high rate of speed” on May 16, causing the other person to crash.

Following an incident where Oprian allegedly forced another vehicle to crash, he exited his car and proceeded to attack the victim. Oprian then used a hatchet to repeatedly strike the victim’s vehicle, shattering its windows and windshield, as reported by authorities.

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

“As soon as he sticks his head out of the car and pulls his key out, some random dude from behind him starts swinging a hatchet at him,” he added.
