Florida man, Rafael Vincent Rivera, is behind bars after he was caught on camera swinging a knife at a motorcyclist during a road rage incident Tuesday afternoon, according to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said that Rivera, was driving his truck when he cut in front of a motorcyclist. The two vehicles came to a stop before deputies said Rivera got out of his truck with a knife in hand.
To defend himself, deputies said the biker grabbed his brass knuckles. After a brief exchange of words, Rivera “stepped aggressively” toward the biker and swung his knife at him, deputies said.
In response, the biker, who has a permit to carry a concealed weapon, pulled out a handgun from his jacket pocket. In the video, the biker can be heard telling Rivera to back away as he points the gun at Rivera.
The incident was recorded by the biker’s passenger.
Deputies were called to the scene and where Rivera was ultimately arrested on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill.
