Attacked in the middle of traffic

So I'm not new to baic, but I dont post very often. Anyway, so today I was on my way home from work in Santa Clara and I was about half way home when I got a red light at the Las Plumas and Mckee Intersection. There were a few cars around as I was the first in line in my lane. The car next to me had a hispanic looking guy maybe about 30 years of age? lol well this guy is staring at me the whole time and decides to jump out of his car and attack my car with a wooden bat. So he gets about 3 swings in denting my car and leaving a few scratches on my passenger side window. I take off to avoid being hit anymore and pull over to call 911. He takes off and dodges traffic and is too quick for me to read his license plate. However i did notice he was driving a silver neon, a newer year and got a somewhat good idea of what he looked like. I did pull over to wait for an officer to make a report and figure out what the heck was going on. Well what a great way to end the day and if anyone knows anything can you please let me know! welll thats it for today x_x.

Well he just really stared at me while i was at the stop light he then just opened his door and had a bat in hand and started swinging. He was already stopped at the light as i pulled up so i dont know what i could have done.

Did you do anything to **** him off?
If not.. I hope this chump gets popped and justice gets served.
I always keep objects in my car in case of situations like this. Nevada has a surplus of these goods.

Good luck man.
It might be worthwhile to do some some investigation if it's not too time intuitive. Check with local businesses with cameras. A suit and tie with the appropriate authority presentation usually leads them right to their camera closet.

he probably thought you gave him a look...some people are just soooo cool nowadays that they will jump at any opportunity to tell their cool friends their gangster story later at night..."yo homies i just bashed this fools car in im so cool"

stuff like that..haha ive had a few encounters with people just trying to prove they are something for no reason other than a glance they thought was "intimidating"

hopefully he gets caught

Sounds like a good Idea. I know the area pretty well so i pretty much let the cops know what streets exited the small area and to where. so by the time the report was done, there were a few patrolling with a good idea of what they were to find. But i will take your suggestion and check around to see what i can find.
