A senior Asian man was squished between two cars and nearly run over in a road rage incident in New York City last week.
What happened: The incident reportedly occurred at the Northeast corner of Cross Bronx Expressway and Jesup Avenue at around 9:30 a.m. on March 5. A video shows a BMW driver exiting his car to confront the Asian driver amid the traffic.
