Victim speaks after being threatened with machete
A woman shared video of a man threatening her with a machete during a road rage incident on Thursday. FOX 26's Leslie DelasBour spoke to the victim and authorities.
What they're saying:
The road rage victim who recorded the video spoke exclusively with FOX 26's Leslie DelasBour.
The victim, who asked to remain anonymous, said the incident started after she slowed down in a school zone.
"I noticed a man pull up next to me, start yelling profanities. I didn't think he was talking to me at first," the victim said.
The victim said she started recording once the man drove in front of her, parked his vehicle, and opened the door. She goes on to say the incident continued briefly after the man went back to his truck.
"For him to get mad, then pull a machete, and then continue to follow me, that's where I get even more scared," she said. "I just keep thanking God that I can go home to my kids. And I can thank God that he didn't chop my head off."
