One angry motorcyclist recently proved that road rage can very well stem from your own bad driving, stomping through a delivery driver’s back windshield moments after sideswiping their car.
The Sunday evening incident quickly escalated after the scrape, the cyclist dismounting their bike in the middle of traffic to jump atop Uber Eats driver Nikki Bullock’s trunk, kicking through their back window.
"So I started arguing out the window. They start arguing back and forth. The other guy got my attention and in the meantime, he jumped off the bike and jumped on the car," Bullock recalled to local news outlet WPVI-TV.
Though her two children, who were sitting in the backseat, and her girlfriend, who was riding shotgun, were fortunately unscathed during the scary incident, the motorcycle rider refused to back down, allegedly threatening them with a gun.

"I already seen [sic] the gun. He was trying to point it in the car anyway," they recalled. "He jumped on the windshield. He already went through the windshield. I might as well get out."
The rider drove off quickly thereafter, however, it appears they may also face legal consequences for their unhinged roadside behavior, the Philadelphia Police Department confirmed that the cyclist “is wanted in connection to an aggravated assault and vandalism” in a recent Twitter post.

"Whoever that person is, if that person is caught and I get the chance to charge that person, we will be going very vigorously after that person for that conduct," Larry Krasner, Philadelphia’s District Attorney, avowed shortly after the incident.
Sometimes taking the L on your bad driving is better than becoming public enemy number one.
