[NYP] A New Hampshire man is facing assault charges after being caught on camera shoving a female driver into a snow pile in an apparent case of road rage ‐ but the man claims he was merely acting in self-defense.
Ricardo Montanez, 28, of Hudson, was arrested Tuesday and charged with simple assault following the incident at Amherst Street and Henri Bourque Highway in Nashua on Sunday, police said.
"Upon initial investigation it was determined that a minor accident occurred after a brief road rage incident involving the two vehicles at the scene," Lt. Carlos Camacho wrote in a news release obtained by The Post. "Officers spoke to all parties involved and to witnesses. A witness was able to record the altercation between the two drivers and showed the video to the investigating officer."
Montanez can be seen on the video forcefully pushing the unidentified woman with two hands, knocking her onto a snow-covered median. |
