Man Sought After Spouting Slur, Saliva At Mercer Mom, Daughter: PD

WEST WINDSOR, NJ — The West Windsor police are looking for a man who racially abused and spat at a woman and her daughter over the weekend, police said.

On Dec. 10, a woman was teaching her daughter how to drive on South Mill Road at the traffic signal for Princeton-Hightstown Road. A Subaru Forester with a Christmas tree on the roof, was directly behind their vehicle and the inexperienced driver took slightly longer to accelerate through the intersection, police said.

The driver of the Subaru, a man with a bald head, honked and changed lanes. When both cars came to a stop side by side, at the intersection of Clarksville Road, the woman rolled down her window and requested the man to be patient with them, police said.

The man responded by using a racial slur and spitting at the woman and her daughter before driving off on Princeton-Hightstown Road.

Police describe the man as white, bald with a full beard (with gray in it), 40 to 45 years old, around 5'11 in height and 250 lbs. in weight.

The Mercer County Prosecutor's Office - Bias Crimes and the West Windsor are investigating. Authorities have asked the public for help - anyone who may have seen the incident or may know who the driver is.
