Lauderdale Lakes , Florida. (WSVN) - A South Florida driver is hoping clear cellphone video will help police capture the women who chased her to a shopping plaza in Lauderdale Lakes and beat her with a bat.
Her face still bruised and her broken nose in bandages, 25-year-old Mikaela Barboza said the road rage attack went down on Thursday, when she cut off a woman while driving down U.S. 441.
The victim said that woman’s sister, who was driving a different car, saw what happened and began yelling at her.
“‘You cut my sister off, that’s disrespectful,'” Barboza said, as she recreated the chain of events that led to the brutal attack.
Barboza said the sister of the woman she cut off continued to chase her while yelling derogatory remarks.
Fearing for her safety, the victim pulled into a strip mall off Oakland Park Boulevard to try and get away.
But Barboza said the woman she had cut off and her sister managed to find her.
“Her sister actually blocked me in, and the other sister blocked me from behind,” she said. “I had nowhere to go.”
Barboza then got out of her car and began recording the encounter on her cellphone.
