Tennessee authorities are searching for a man caught on video violently attacking a car with an ax during an alleged road rage incident in Memphis on Saturday.
Footage recorded by bystanders shows the suspect, who has not yet been identified, repeatedly swinging an ax at the driver’s side of a car.
Each time he struck the vehicle, he appeared to pull the ax out of the holes he created before swinging again.

The altercation reportedly began after the suspect’s vehicle was rear-ended, according to FOX 10 and other media reports.
Following the crash, the suspect exited his car and began shouting at the people inside the other vehicle.
He then smashed both the front and rear windshields, along with the driver’s side of the car before stepping back, removing his jacket, and staring at the occupants.
After the destruction, the man calmly walked back to his car, still holding the ax, and drove away.
