BALTIMORE — Baltimore police are looking for a woman in connection to a road rage incident involving a biker.
Just ask a man, who we will only refer to as “Zack,” who was riding his e-bike this week at the intersection of Waterview Avenue and Hanover Street when they met for the first time.
“The woman clipped me on my bike and broke my pedal off and so I flipped her off,” said Zack, “You know. I was unhappy that she hit me and she decided to take it upon herself to chase me down the whole bike path down Waterview.”
A camera mounted on Zack’s helmet captures what happened next when her vehicle slowed down.
“I just went over to get her plate number and let her know she was on video trying to de-escalate the situation and have her leave,” Zack told us, “and she said, ‘I don’t care!’ and jumped out of the car and started hitting me with that broom that you can see in the video… or whatever it is. I think it’s a snow scraper.”
Search is on for road rage suspect who allegedly attacked a biker in Baltimore
Zack got back on his bike and hid from the woman at Middle Branch Park until police showed up and she fled in her vehicle.
This isn’t the first time that Zack’s been struck by a vehicle while riding his e-bike.
In fact, he says in recent months, he’s been hit twice and on both occasions, it was here on the Hanover Street Bridge.”
“The one really scared me really cause, like they clipped me really good and if they were over just a few inches, they would have just plowed me right in the back and probably killed me,” said Zack.
He was fortunate this time as well that a road warrior filled with rage could only inflict so much damage with a weapon more suited for removing snow off her car than the head from her adversary.
“She got me like in the shoulder. She was going for the head, but luckily I had a helmet on,” said Zack, “When she ran over to her back door, I was like, ‘Is this lady getting a gun out of her car or a knife?’ I don’t know what she’s grabbing, you know what I mean? Baltimore’s crazy.”
If you recognize the woman, you’re asked to call police at 410-396-2499.
