Chevy Chase was living out a scenario right out of a National Lampoon flick.
The actor claims he was attacked in a road rage incident while traveling over the Tappan Zee Bridge in New York earlier this month when a passenger kicked him so hard he fell to the ground, TMZ reported.
Chase, 74, told police that a black pick-up truck cut him off on Feb. 9 and he thought the truck might have hit his car, so he flashed his lights until the driver pulled over.
He realized there was no damage, but still went up to the driver to “speak to him about his reckless driving,” according to the gossip site — and that’s when trouble started.
One of the passengers flipped off the actor and he fired back, reportedly saying, “If I were a lot younger I'd bust your nose.”
His threat led one of the passengers to get out of the car and kick him in the shoulder, causing him to hit the ground, according to police docs.
The driver claimed Chase threw a punch first and that the kicker was trying to block his fist with a foot, TMZ reports.
The person who kicked the actor was cited with second degree harassment, according to documents obtained by TMZ.
A witness also was involved in the report, noting he pulled over because he didn’t want to witness the older man, Chase, “get his a-- stomped.”
Chase was a key cast member in the first reason of “Saturday Night Live” and went on to star in films like the “National Lampoon” franchise, “Caddyshack,” “Fletch” and countless others.

That poor dog . . . .
Leaving aside any aspects related to bad driving or vehicular damage, the simple question is: “Who wouldn’t want to kick Chevy’s ass?”
NYers gonna NY. We Texans are gonna Texan. To each his own.
Bruce Willis? Clint Eastwood? Maybe...
But Chevy Chase!!!
Who would even think of doing something like that?
I'm glad he's okay, but seriously, what was he thinking?
I would have kicked his ass for that lame “Francisco Franco is still dead” joke.
From what I’ve read all of the other cast members on SNL wanted to kick his a*s too.
Just another testament as to why this country is going down.
Folks can’t even comport themselves anymore.
Whoah, I clicked through to the site and Chevy Chase does not look good, unnatural bloat and his color is bad. He shouldn’t be putting himself in these situations at all, he’s liable to drop dead just from getting his heart rate up.
Another Bob Grant fan!
“Get off my phone”!
A true Patriot
He is a major league dickhead. And only a moron would try to get a vehicle to stop like that.
And then get out of your car to talk to the other driver “about his reckless driving.” Insane.
People around here are still planning on calling it the Tappan Zee bridge.
“Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead”
actually first appeared in the National Lampoon magazine, a Mad Magazine for adults. One of the editors then went on to write for SNL, if I recall correctly..
Yeah well, Chevy Chase’s career is still dead.
I thought he was hysterical and NatLampoon’s Christmas is still one of my favorite movies, BUT once he opened his LIB mouth,
“Chevy Chase is still dead” to me... :)
Chevy Chase is now oficially a California Raisin.
He got what he deserved.
