LINCOLN, Neb. – Lincoln Police arrested a man who reportedly punched a driver during a road-rage attack before being hit with a tire iron near 14th and Fletcher on Tuesday.
(snip)officers were called to the area of 14th and Fletcher on a report of people fighting.
Police arrived and found a 29-year-old man, his 31-year-old girlfriend, and their four children were there and the man had injuries from being assaulted.
He told officers it started at 14th and Saunders streets when a 2016 black Honda Civic tried to cut him off.
The victim wouldn’t let the vehicle in, so the occupants of the Civic rolled down their window and yelled at him to get out of his car and fight him.
The suspect then pulled off on a roundabout, sped through a Walgreens parking lot and back behind the victim, striking his car.
The suspect, Tyquan Petty, 20, exited the vehicle and approached the victim in a threatening manner, police said.
The victim then exited the vehicle with a tire iron.
The victim was also taking video and is seen repeatedly telling Petty to back away while Petty continued to threaten him.
Police said Petty then struck the victim with his fists, leading the victim to hit Petty with the tire iron, which ended the situation.
The victim’s girlfriend attempted to intervene during the fight, and a female passenger of the Honda Civic sprayed her with pepper spray and struck her in the face, police said.
The victim said as the suspects left the scene, he struck the back of the vehicle with the tire iron and broke the back window of the car.
Petty was contacted at a local hospital where he was getting treated for injuries (snip) He was arrested and charged with terroristic threats and third-degree assault.

Story over, right there.
more stupid people news..
Yup. To the memory hole with this one.
Seems to me that there was a severe lack of civility and maturity by all parties involved in this incident.
Never bring a fist to a tire-iron fight.
Damn, I figured Tyquan last name hada be Doe.
Never bring a fist to a tire-iron fight.
**************
LOL..... Yep the weapons involved generally decide the outcome.
LOL
Tyquan?
Is that short for Tae Kwan Do?
No. I guess not.
Don’t bring a fist to a tire iron fight!
Tae Kwan Don’t.
It’s an arcane term nowadays - A tire iron (also tire lever or tire spoon) is a specialized metal tool used in working with tires. Tire irons have not been in common use for automobile tires since the shift to the use of tubeless tires in the late 1950s.
Is that short for Tae Kwan Do?
——-
Actually, Tae Kwan Didn’t.
a petty crime...
No doubt, the passenger in LaQuan’s car was his older sister LaToilet.
lol. Check this out, I was looking up the name of this guy and he went missing 2 years ago......
It’s the same guy, as if anyone else is named “Tyquan” in the first place......
