A man is injured and another one is in custody after a road rage incident on the Anthony Henday Drive Sunday morning.

Brad Cummins said he was driving on the Henday, and after he passed a vehicle, the driver came up behind him inches from his bumper and asked him to pull over.

“When I pulled over, I got out of my car to talk to him, and he pulls out this weapon – a baton – so I said, ‘OK, I don’t need this,’ so I go to get back in my car, and he runs me over,” Cummins told CTV News. “He said he was gonna smash my head in. He threatened me. He pulled out a weapon and he said he was gonna bash my head in.”

Cummins claims that as he tried to get back into his vehicle, the man attempted to run him over, hit the car door instead, which then hit the victim in the head.

“It’s absolutely nuts, man,” Cummins said. “People need to calm down. It’s not worth it … He could’ve killed me.”

Edmonton police said the suspect vehicle fled away southbound on the Anthony Henday, but crashed against a curb as it attempted to turn left on 153 Avenue.

The man is in custody and charges are pending.

“He needs to be taken off the road and that makes me quite happy,” Cummins said.

There were two road rage incidents caught on camera in Canada last week – one in Toronto, and the other one in Peterborough.

“If you get out of your vehicle and start causing problems on the side of the road, it can put you at risk,” Cst. Nikolas Pavlov told CTV News. “Continue on your way if you can and just call police.”
