A woman has been arrested after wild video captured by Chopper 6 shows the moment she charged at two men with screwdriver and tried to stab them hours after they were involved in an early morning crash Monday on Interstate 395.
The crash occurred around 5:30 a.m. in the eastbound lanes of I-395 near Biscayne Boulevard.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, a black BMW was stopped on the road, partially blocking the right lane, when an oncoming white Toyota RAV4 collided with it.
According to an arrest report, the woman who was driving the BMW, 26-year-old Acklynn Byamugisha, told police she was stopped on the road when the driver of the RAV4, Freddy Diaz, struck the back of her car.
Diaz’s father showed up to the scene of the crash a short time later and that’s when a verbal dispute broke out between the drivers, the arrest report said.
The dispute then turned physical when Byamugisha alleged that Diaz’s father verbally threatened her, grabbed her and then pulled her hair, the report said.
Byamugisha then told police she went to the car that belonged to Diaz’s father, grabbed a screwdriver and a bottle of Windex and sprayed Diaz and his father in the face with its contents, the report said.
Video captured by Chopper 6 shows that Byamugisha then charged toward Diaz and his father with the screwdriver in hand and Diaz got in the middle.
Diaz is seen falling back with Byamugisha on top of him with her hand on what appeared to be his neck.
She was then pulled off of them and walked away before she was placed under arrest for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and battery.
