The Florida Highway Patrol is asking for help tracking down a couple seen on video attacking a Brandon woman's vehicle after a minor crash on Tuesday.
Troopers said the couple attacked the 31-year-old woman's car after they initially shot at her.
Sgt. Steve Gaskins said the incident initially happened near the intersection of Orient Road and Hillsborough Avenue around 5 p.m.
"When he got there he discovered that the crash happened there. The two parties involved had an exchange that didn't go well," Gaskins said.
Gaskins said the 31-year-old woman drove away and was caught at the light along U.S. 301 at the Martin Luther King Boulevard intersection.
That is when the pair began screaming, kicking, and yelling at the woman behind the wheel.
"The victim in this case was not injured. The car was not struck by any rounds, but of course she is terrified. She's nervous," Gaskins said.
Both parties drove away unharmed. Gaskins said this serves as a reminder to never engage with another driver.
"If you find yourself in a situation you know take a step back. Defend yourself if need be but try to exit the situation. Call 911. Call for help and try to remain calm as best you can," Gaskins said.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call *FHP (*347) or Crime Stoppers at **TIPS.
