Female, age 63, MadisonDetails
A 63-year old Madison woman was punched in the face by an angry stranger following a road-rage incident near a construction zone on University Ave. at N. Whitney Way. The victim said, because of the construction, the left lane of northbound traffic on N. Whitney Way needs to merge with the right lane traffic just before reaching University Ave. She said the angry man was in the left lane. She was in the right. He was going to try to accelerate ahead of her, but failed, because she also hit the gas to keep him from completing the maneuver. The victim would later apologize to an officer for her behavior, but the officer told her what she did, did not warrant getting slugged. The violence happened after the man got out seconds later as both drivers were stopped for a red light at University Ave. He walked up to her driver's side window, which was down, and popped her once in the face. He said nothing, just got back into his boxy white SUV or van, and drove away.Released 06/06/2012 at 1:26 PM by PIO Joel DeSpain
