A car in front of her blocked her view just as a family crossed, with the man behind and his wife and children in front.
“The collision was minor since the car wasn’t moving fast,” the driver’s sister stated.
When the driver opened the car door to check on them, the man kept slamming it until it broke, then yanked the car key and punched her in the head.
Though the driver apologised, he continued the attack and even kicked the woman in the stomach.
While the girl sustained a minor leg injury, the father allegedly claimed that his wife and daughter were thrown into the air from the impact.
As such, the female driver and her family collected video evidence to file a case against the man.
