Video reveals moment a road rage suspect hurls axe at driver in Washington

Shocking video footage has revealed the moment a road rage suspect threw an axe at a driver’s window in Washington state.

The violent incident unfolded on 27 July on a King County interstate when a driver of a Jeep began blasting their horn at another vehicle as they merged onto the highway, according to incident reports.

Reports said that the victim reportedly took an alternative exit to avoid the Jeep but the vehicle followed and blocked the road in front of the driver’s car.

Video footage shows a shirtless man leaping from his car and hurtling an axe at the victim’s windshield.

The axe shatters the windshield before the man casually gets back in his car and drives away from the scene.

“Road rage is real, especially when some whacked out driver throws a hammer at your windshield,” King County Sheriff's Office said. “This video nearly says it all.”
