HIGH POINT, N.C. — Police identified and arrested a man they believe was involved in a road-rage incident in High Point Monday afternoon.
The victim, Emma Fitzwater, took to Facebook with a video of the incident. Police said it happened just after 1:30 p.m.
"He terrified me, and I can’t seem to stop crying," Fitzwater wrote.
The video shows a man getting out of a car, walking up to Fitzwater's car window and spitting on it several times. Police said the man yelled and cursed at Fitzwater.
Police said Fitzwater pulled her vehicle out onto Skeet Club Road in front of the man. Police said he thought she was too close to his vehicle.
"In order to get into the parking lot, one has to make a U-Turn and then an immediate right turn. I admit that I timed it wrong," Fitzwater wrote on Facebook. "He had to pump his breaks, and I did feel sorry. However, he did not need to slam on them, and it was not a situation that would have caused a wreck. Obviously, I infuriated him."
Police said the man followed Fitzwater to the parking lot of Skeet Club Veterinary Hospital where he approached her vehicle, cursed at her and spit. Police said he then covered his license plate before driving off.
Fitzwater posted the video on social media and hours later, the investigating officer received a call from someone who wished to remain anonymous and identified the man in the video as Ronald Cohen. Cohen was advised to come to the police department and turn himself in, which he did.
Cohen was charged with assault on a female, disorderly conduct and covering a registration plate. He received a $5,000 bond and was released.
