Hatboro Man Used Machete During Road Rage Incident: Police

HATBORO, PA —A 66-year-old borough man has been charged in a road rage incident last Thursday in which he allegedly used a machete to attack another driver in Bucks County, authorities said.

Kenneth Williams, 66. of Bensal Road, was charged with aggravated assault and reckless endangerment, authorities said.

The New Britain Township Police Department said the road rage incident involved two men fighting in the middle of the road in the area of County Line Road and Manor Drive at 7:45 a.m. last Thursday.

Police officers found the two men struggling with each other over a machete.

Both were separated, and Williams was detained, police said.

The other man sustained cuts to his temple and arm and was transported to Grandview Hospital for treatment, police said.

Williams told police that the other driver tried to hit him. But the other driver —who had a “large laceration” on his head —said he thought Williams had hit his car, and when he got out to check for damage, Williams also got out of his car and started swinging the machete at him, according to reports.

The other driver says after he was hit several times in the head and arm, he grabbed the blade of the machete and held on tight until police arrived, KYW Newsradio reported.

The Montgomery Township Police Department assisted at the scene.
