JENKINTOWN, PA — One of the two suspects arrested in connection with a recent road rage assault case in the borough goes by a version of the nickname 'Bad News' on Instagram, and he also owns a 2011 Dodge Challenger with a word that looks like that phrase as his state vanity vehicle registration plate, according to local media reports.

Patch reported on Wednesday that Jenkintown police arrested Charles Woodson, 37, and September Wingfield, 25, both of Philadelphia's Holmesburg neighborhood, in connection with a vicious beating of another motorist last week along Old York Road.

The suspects can be seen on video beating and stomping a female driver before she becomes unconscious. The beating took place both outside and inside of the victim's car.
