A legally licensed gun owner brought to an end a high speed road rage incident that spawned a flurry of calls by terrified motorists who reported an SUV racing down the Mass Pike with a man clinging to the hood of the car, police said.

Mark Fitzgerald, 37, of Ashland and Richard Kamrowski, 65, of Framingham will face each other in Waltham District Court on Monday. The two were released on personal recognizance after their arrests on Friday.

The perilous incident ended with Kamrowski clinging to the hood of Fitzgerald’s 2016 Infiniti QX70 for miles, smashing the windshield with a water bottle, until a third motorist state police said is a licensed gun owner drew his weapon on Fitzgerald and ordered him out of the SUV.

Fitzgerald is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon on a person over 60, negligent operation of a motor vehicle and leaving the scene of a property damage accident.

Kamrowski faces charges of disorderly conduct and malicious damage to a motor vehicle.

Police are asking anyone who was witness to the incident, including the initial crash, to contact the Weston barracks at 781-431-5050.

The alleged fracas began shortly before 4:45 p.m. Friday when police said the Weston barracks began receiving calls about a man on the hood of a white SUV that was headed westbound on Interstate 90.

Trooper Glenn Witaszek’s initial investigation indicated Fitzgerald’s Infiniti and a 2014 Ford F150 being driven by Kamrowski were involved in a minor sideswipe collision.

“Following the collision, Kamrowski stopped in the left lane, exited his vehicle, and attempted to exchange paperwork with Fitzgerald, who was still inside his vehicle,” police said. “That encounter became adversarial and at some point Kamrowski retrieved a water bottle from the interior of Fitzgerald’s vehicle before taking a position in front of that vehicle. Fitzgerald then began driving towards Kamrowski, who subsequently jumped up on the hood of Fitzgerald’s vehicle.

“Fitzgerald then began to drive westbound with the Infiniti accelerating and stopping, with speeds reaching as high as approximately 70 mph, while Kamrowski remained on the hood of the vehicle,” police said. “At some point, Kamrowski broke the windshield of the Infiniti by hitting it with the water bottle he had taken earlier in the encounter. The Infiniti continued about two to three miles, while other motorists attempted to get Fitzgerald to stop.

“Motorists were finally able to stop the Infiniti, and one operator, who was a properly licensed gun owner, exited his vehicle and ordered Fitzgerald out of his vehicle at gun-point,” police said. “Fitzgerald was then detained until troopers arrived on scene.”
