Dentist Road Rage

[Bellucciman]

Take a look at this clip. Unbelievable. That's right down the street from where I live in White Plains

Wow. It's one thing to be angry and have some road rage....but being a giant man like that and tossing a woman to the ground...not cool.

Was this in front of a police station or courthosue or something? Was the cameraman part of a news crew? There seem to be more to this story and we can see in the vid.

This whole incident happened in front of the Westchester County office building. That's why you see a County PO arresting the guy. The interesting thing is that there was a White Plains PD patrol car right there. I'm wondering where the WP cop was during this incident. Funny, they will film the incident as it's happening but no one jumped in to help the guy and the woman until after. Reality video at it's best.

I think people were right to not intervene until he actually did assault someone...the woman no less. Before that, he was very irate and pushy, as as shown, the police were summoned.

Once the officer came and he was handcuffed, he got calm and I get the sense that he was just starting to realize "Damn, I &$#ed up."

A Channel 2 news crew was on their way to an unrelated story when they saw this happen and rolled the cameras.

Well, its only a few seconds. Clearly that dentist lost control of himself in the part we saw.

Maybe those two people he assaulted thought they owned the street though? Its just a thought even thought it doesn't justify his strong arm tactics.

They're in the middle of the street to begin with.

Then they high tail it to the parking spot after he threatens to drive their vehicle out of the way himself.

Was that "his" parking space? possibly. Did they then pull into his parking space "anyway" after the first confrontation?

Or did they understandably get upset at being menaced & having this dentist just about appropriate their vehicle and they saw the cop car and thought about getting the cops involved at that point?

The best policy is often to keep your hands to yourself in the heat of the moment unless violence is a foregone conclusion or something you are seeking.

Watch closely.

The car's hazard lights go on as the enraged Dentist approaches and the car begins to backup for a second. I think the guy in the car was going to get out of Dodge at that point, and the woman told him to stop the car because she wanted to get out and settle the score.

The woman gets out of the car and he's already got his arm/hand extended in the first place to make his point. She runs up on him - into his hand literally and pushes him in the body. Then he shoves her back.

So much for thinking that folks up in Westchester are more chill about this kind of thing than here in Manhattan, where some type of parking dispute happens a few times a week outside my office. "Choose to defuse" people (or was it diffuse?)!

Jeez, no kidding. :D

Suburbia can be dangerous too. I can't remember the last time some teenagers on the BQE thought it would be fun to throw a frozen turkey out the window into high speed traffic.

The women and the Dentist both have offices in the same building. The story I got was the Dentist was trying to pull into the driveway where the car was double parked and wouldn't move and it escalated from there.
