It’s was a nightmare on the highway as a road rage incident leads to a baseball bat smashing the windshield of a man’s car as his kids scream inside.
The dad says he was driving with his two sons when he was sideswiped by another vehicle on the Staten Island Expressway. Both drivers pulled over to check for damage, and that’s when things quickly deteriorated. “You’re not going to pay for my car?” the other driver says before he swings the bat.
The victim, who did not want to be identified, recorded the attack on his cellphone camera and his 11-year-old son can be heard crying in the background as the attacker destroyed their car's windshield. The suspect then fled the scene in an uninvolved third vehicle, police said, and the other vehicle initially involved in the collision also left the scene.
The scene occurred near exit 13 around 7 p.m. on Friday, June 18, while the victim and his two sons were going to New Jersey to celebrate Father's Day, the victim told police
