When the pair reached a traffic light at Southwest 132nd Street and South Dixie Highway, Marquez Quinones, who was shirtless, got out, pulled out a baseball bat and began to strike her driver’s side door yelling,"You think you can cut me off (expletive)?"
Marquez Quinones then began to strike the rear passenger side window, shattering it on impact, police said. He then struck the rear window, shattering that as well.
He then got into his vehicle and drove off.
Marquez Quinones was arrested on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and criminal mischief.
He appeared in court Thursday and was ordered to remain in jail in lieu of $8,500 bail. He will be placed under house arrest and fitted with a GPS ankle monitor if he posts bail.
