LORTON, VA — The first call to police came from a bystander, reporting that a man and woman were arguing in a grocery store parking lot.

Officers would learn the man, 19, was actually running scared after the woman struck his car intentionally in traffic and then attempted to run over him — all while allegedly claiming the victim was "from ISIS." According to police, the man was driving to work shortly before 7 a.m. Friday on Ox Road in Lorton when his car was struck from behind by the woman's car.

Fairfax Police shared images of the damaged bumper. "It appears that it was not an accident, but an intentional act," according to a police statement. The man got out of his car to confront the other driver, when the woman allegedly attempted to hit him with her car, according to police.

He ran into the Giant grocery store parking lot, where witnesses contacted police. The woman eventually fled the scene, but not before claiming the victim was a terrorist, he told WUSA9. "She was shouting at me talking about how I'm from ISIS," he said. "She didn't know me at all she just said I'm from ISIS, go back to my country and that I had been following her since three this morning."

The woman, whose name has not been released, was taken into custody hours later near her home in Woodbridge, Va. She was transported to a local facility for a mental evaluation, according to police. Criminal charges aren't expected in the case.
