The video, which was recorded by another driver as others called 911, shows what investigators said happened around 10 a.m. Thursday just before police officers arrived to Old York Road and Rydal Road for an assault from a road rage incident that had started just up the road.
Two people got out of a pickup truck and approached the driver of a car in front of them. They then began punching and kicking the 23-year-old woman who is from Philadelphia.
