Man gets out of SUV, beats pedestrian in front of Pueblo Judicial Building
A road rage incident Thursday was caught on camera in Pueblo, and it shows a man beating a pedestrian right in front of the Dennis Maes Judicial Building.
The video by Facebook user Brandon Apodaca has been shared thousands of times on social media. It's not clear what led to the altercation, but you can see a masked man wearing a backpack arguing with the driver of an SUV at the corner of 4th and Elizabeth streets.
The driver gets back in his vehicle, and the man with the backpack stops in front of the SUV just outside of a crosswalk. That's when the driver accelerates, pushing the man further into the street.
Video shows the man in the backpack strike the SUV with his fist, and then the driver gets out and punches the pedestrian several times while wrestling him to the ground. After a few seconds, the driver gets back in the SUV and leaves.
Pueblo police say they're looking into what happened, but they haven't received a report from the victim yet. Neither of the individuals have been identified.
"We have a potential crime, we need to make a determination on what occurred and find a victim that will assist in the court process," said Sgt. Frank Ortega with the Pueblo Police Department.
