PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Police are searching for the suspect and victims involved in a road rage incident in Port Richmond on Tuesday.

Surveillance video posted to YouTube shows a man in a red truck following a silver car into the parking lot of an office building on the 2700 block of Luzerne Street in Port Richmond. The man in the truck gets out and smashes the windows of the SUV with a sledgehammer.

When the SUV attempts to leave the parking lot, the passenger of the SUV falls out. Police say the driver of the truck hits the passenger with a sledgehammer and then breaks the rear window out of the SUV.

Both vehicles then leave the area in an unknown direction.

“It’s insane. It’s really insane. No one is safe,” said Eddie Thaxton, who works across the street and was on scene minutes after the confrontation.


Others on scene say what happened in this parking lot was out of control and should have never happened.

“Society today is spiraling out of control and these are some of the results,” said George Gaynor.

Anyone with any information is asked to call police at 215-686-TIPS.

This is why your insurance company recommends you always carry a sledgehammer in your car.

So the driver of the SUV gets hit with a sledgehammer and then somehow just gets back into his car and drives away?

Sonic opens an inside service location and everyone gets confused where to go.

We don’t know it was over road rage.
There has to be a backstory.

Could of caught the baw leaving his wife’s house, followed him and started swinging the sledge hammer. I wouldn’t blame him.

I’m not agreeing with the sledge hammer guy but this is exactly why i stay chill in traffic.

Even when traffic sucks, i let people in and don’t cut people off and try and just be generally courteous.

There are people out there and just flat out DGAF and i ain’t about to get got

You guys need to watch the video.

A-hole in the truck follows them into parking lot and immediately gets out with sledghammer.Hits driver window, drivers spins around trying to leave and his passenger falls out Guy with sledgehammer hits passenger (who's already hurt and limping from getting thrown out of SUV) with sledgehammer as he is limping back to get back into SUV. A-hole then knocks out back window of SUV.

God's truth, if the guy with sledgehammer attacked me like that for anything he would be wearing 3-4 rounds of .45 in his chest from me.

SOB needs to go away to jail for a long, LONG time when they catch him.

Assuming she’s cheating on him, dude shoulda beat her with the sledgehammer. Jody may not have known they’re married.

Or Vito encouraging a client to pay his gambling debts, which would explain why nobody reported it to the police.

I’ll take my Colt 1911 45 pistol over his sledgehammer any day. And he’s lucky the driver didn’t have one.
