The Nissan Altima should have front-end damage from the incident, which occurred after 2 p.m. on Thursday.

The driver was described as a black man about 200 pounds and approximately 6 feet 2 inches tall.

Police said that the victim had been driving from I-695 onto I-95 north when he and the suspect allegedly got into a nonverbal altercation and were driving aggressively.

Before the exit for MD 543, the victim pulled onto the shoulder of I-95 north, at which point the driver of the Nissan allegedly rear-ended his vehicle.

The victim's car was a blue Toyota sedan with two "Coexist" stickers on it, according to WJZ, which reported the two men got into a fist fight outside the vehicles.

Police said that the victim had gotten out to assess the damage from being rear-ended when the other driver emerged and assaulted him, then returned to his vehicle and ran him over.

The victim was airlifted to the University of Maryland R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center, and the suspect drove away, police said.

Anyone with information is asked to call Sgt. Vogt of Maryland State Police at 410-320-4257, extension 318.
