LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Less than a day after shocking dashcam footage showed an angry man with a metal pipe engage in a road-rage attack on a Southern California freeway, other drivers are detailing similar violent encounters with the same individual.

The footage aired Wednesday on Eyewitness News shows the man get out of a Tesla with a pipe in his hand and smash the side of the car behind him on the 2 Freeway.

Others are now reporting encounters with the same man in Atwater Village, Echo Park and Pasadena over recent months.

One woman says she encountered him at a storage facility in Atwater Village two months ago.

When she turned a corner, the man was there and he got out of his car, unprovoked, and started harassing her.

So she started recording.

In the video, he appears to be driving the same Tesla and dressed in similar clothing.

Afterward, she says she reported him to the storage facility management, then tried to move on with her day.

"I ended up leaving and at the red light he comes after me, still he comes after me and follows me out," she said.

In another encounter, he was seen reaching out from his own vehicle to hit another as he passed by on a Pasadena street.

Another video in Echo Park shows him getting out of the same charcoal Tesla with no rear plates on the 101 freeway and hitting the front of a car with a pipe.

After the most recent encounter on the 2 Freeway this week, the man whose vehicle was struck continued recording, and saw the man in the Tesla pull over and attack another driver.

That second driver told Eyewitness News she had honked at the driver in the Tesla on the freeway.

"All I did was, because he was taking forever to merge, so I just honked," she said.

The video shows her swerve to exit and he then jumps out of his car and runs toward her, before she is able to d"I honestly did feel like he was either gonna break my windows or pull me out," she said.

Now she has to deal not only with the trauma but with the damage to her car.

"This is my only vehicle. It took a long time to buy a new car, and a few years ago I bought a new car that was economical for me and I don't know what I'm gonna do. It's scary."rive away. But not before he swung the pipe and damaged the side of her car.

I used to carry the wrecking bar near me in the car but I saw a 1970s color Dragnet and Harry Morgan said to a driver “Generally these are carried in the trunk of the car.” Made me stop and think.

Next idea I haven’t tried is to carry a few screwdrivers, files and tools with one good weapon one and a note written out “Uncle Ron, here are your tools back. Sorry it took so long. Love,....”

I always carry a gun in my vehicles. Gun beats lead pipe every time.

The local news on Channel 7 is helping to spread the word.
This is good. Let others know what he looks like, what he usually acts like. He, or someone who knows him is likely to recognize his face on TV. Good.
It seems that he is mostly harrassing women.
He should remember, a lot of women are starting to carry these days.

Think what?!

That it is better to be totally unarmed, and at the mercy of some crazy who attacks you with a weapon?

It is NOT illegal, while driving, to have a tire-iron next to you on the passenger's seat.

In fact, it's darn smart!

Regards,

Years ago, this guy was running around on the same 2 Freeway during rush
hour. It may not be the same guy, but it’s the exact same place, and he
seems to have an affinity for that section of the freeway.

A family member of mine was driving by and saw the guy years ago.
