No matter how angry you are, no matter how annoying another driver’s behavior is, the wise thing to do is to not get involved into an altercation with another motorist. And yet, this thing happens all the time, and sometimes it gets pretty ugly.
Released by the King County Sheriff’s Office in the state of Washington, the video shows the culmination of an incident that started as the dashcam vehicle merged onto the NE 145th St I-5 ramp, when the SUV’s driver started honking at them, according to incident reports seen by Q13 Fox Seattle.
The dashcam car’s driver then took the Ballinger Way exit in Shoreline to avoid a confrontation, but they were followed by the SUV’s driver, who eventually passed them, blocked the road, and threw an axe (!) at their windshield. Thankfully, no one was injured.

A suspect was eventually identified with the help of additional video surveillance and was arrested three days after the incident. He is facing multiple felony charges after fleeing Snohomish County deputies.
This isn’t his first road rage incident either. The 47-year-old is also accused of yelling at another man in the road in Everett on June 29, making threats, and hurling racial slurs at that victim.
Making things even worse is the fact that the man is also suspected of having robbed a Home Depot shortly before this incident.
In all, he is facing charges for felony hate crime, felony eluding and theft, as well as an outstanding felony warrant for first-degree robbery in King County.
