Aurora Road Rage Incident Leaves Passenger With Facial Lacerations
AURORA, Colo. (CBS4) - Police in Aurora are searching for a man who kicked in a car window and left a passenger with lacerations all over his face.
Benjamin Hill and two other teens were driving home from school Tuesday afternoon when two strangers in another car drove up alongside them, allegedly cat-calling to the girls inside and getting furious as the teens mocked them.
"I think he was sick in the mind and got mad that the girls had no desire to talk to him and we were not interested in any way," said Hill, who was a passenger in the car.
The cars stopped in traffic at the intersection of East Hampden Avenue and South Tower Road when one of the supsects got out of their car and targeted Hill, kicking him in the face through the passenger window.
The impact broke Hill's nose and he sustained multiple lacerations and possibly a concussion. He also found glass in his mouth.
Hill told CBS4 he hadn't said a word to the unknown suspect.
"I'm dazed and look back at him as he's walking to his car and he says, 'Keep talking crap,' and the n-word," Hill said.
Police say the attacker was a black man in his early 20s. In the commotion one of the girls took a picture of the suspect vehicle and the driver, said to be a white man with a neck tattoo.
The teens followed the suspects for a short time but the license plate they got doesn't check out with state records.
The teens hope one of the many people driving by witnessed the attack. Anyone with information is asked to call Aurora police.
