An unidentified driver was arrested yesterday when he admitted to police that he "knocked out" some pedestrians after almost hitting them with his car.
According to police reports, two men were walking at a crosswalk along the 4900 block of Third Street when a driver came to a short stop nearly hitting one of the pedestrians with his bumper.
According to police "the victim who was nearly hit tapped the suspect's hood with his hands and told him to calm down."
That enraged the driver who then hopped out of his car and punched the guy who had touched his hood. The victim fell to the ground. The driver then turned his anger on the second pedestrian and started beating him. Then he went back to the first victim and continued to punch and kick him until the cops arrived and broke it up.
The driver was arrested and booked on battery charges.
