Texas road rage suspect spray-paints victim's face before having can turned on him: authorities

A road rage incident in Texas turned ugly Friday when an altercation broke out – and the weapon of choice was white spray paint.

Harris County Constable Mark Herman’s office said in a Facebook post that on Aug. 4 that deputies responded to a road rage incident on the 24000 block of Kuykendahl Road in northern Houston.

When deputies arrived, they learned from the complainant that while he was driving north on Kuykendahl Road, the driver in front of him could not stay in his lane while he was looking at his phone, according to authorities.

The two vehicles pulled up to a traffic light, and when the light turned green, the driver who was allegedly distracted by his phone did not start moving.
