Manteno police investigate road rage incident

Manteno Police are looking into an alleged road rage incident. According to reports, it was just after 10 last night when officers were called to a home in Manteno where a man told them he’d had his car window broken and he’d been battered while driving home earlier in the evening. The victim told police he’d been driving up Route 50 from WalMart and was tailgated by a dark colored Jeep Wrangler. The man told police that once he got into Manteno and turned toward home, the driver of the Jeep pulled around him, got out of the Jeep, broke the victim’s driver’s side window and grabbed him by the neck. The man says the offender threw his head into the center console of his car and choked him, all the time saying the victim was going to cause an accident by the way he drives. The victim refused treatment for cuts on his chin and arm. Police are looking for the driver of the Jeep.
