Man Arrested After Road Rage Incident Captured on Video

On May 12 at 11:44 AM, a vehicle described as a blue Jeep was traveling westbound on the I-4 entrance ramp from 21st Street east of the I-275 interchange behind a white van.

The van reportedly slowed to merge into another lane. The Jeep then moved in front of van and suddenly stopped.

Unable to avoid a collision, the van collided with the rear of the Jeep resulting in a minor crash.

According to FHP, the driver of the Jeep walked to van and using an unknown object shattered the driver’s window.

He told the van’s driver, 34 year-old James Nathaniel Robinson of Tampa, that he should kill him right then.
