Stabbing Injures Man During Road-Rage Dispute On I-85 In Gwinnett

DULUTH, GA — A road-rage incident between two drivers turned violent when police say one of them stabbed the other in the chest on Interstate 85 south.

Gwinnett County Police on Wednesday said the incident happened on Nov. 13 in Duluth.

A man told officers he was involved in a road-rage dispute with a white van, which police say they determined was driven by Yoandry Rincon.

During the encounter, police said Rincon got out of the van and confronted the man at his driver's-side window. Rincon was then accused of pulling out a knife and stabbing the man in his chest.

The man was able to get a bat from inside his vehicle, which led Rincon to return to his van, police said.

They added the man was taken to a hospital, where he was treated for his injury and later released.

Detectives interviewed Rincon, arrested him on charges of aggravated assault and booked him into the Gwinnett County Jail, they said.

The two men did not know one another prior to the incident, police said.
