A TV meteorologist in Austin, Texas became the victim of a road rage incident, and it’s all captured on his vehicle’s dashcam.
Avery Tomasco was punched in the face by the other driver after both men pulled over following a collision on the road.
Moments earlier, the dashcam showed the other driver cutting into Tomasco’s lane and hitting his car.
Both drivers then pulled into a shopping center parking lot.
“He said one sentence with an obscenity in there, ‘You hit my blank car’, and I replied, ‘No, you hit my car.’ and that’s when he swung with his entire force,” Tomasco said.
The driver who threw the sucker punch quickly left the scene.
There is now a warrant out for his arrest.
Tomasco, who suffered a bruise and a cut, plans to press charges.
