The Texarkana Texas Police Department arrested Elijah Adams, 38, of Texarkana Texas, for Injury to the Elderly on Thursday. Adams is alleged to have assaulted a 75 year old man as part of a road rage incident last Friday evening.
Officers were dispatched to a disturbance in the 4700 block of South Lake Drive at about 8:15 p.m. on Friday. The victim said that he had been attacked by two men on motorcycles after he accidently cut off the two men as he changed lanes. The motorcyclists started following him very closely and revving their engines. He said that he got out of his truck at the next traffic light to try to apologize to them, but they got off their motorcycles and hit him several times in the face. The men left the victim bleeding on the ground and were last seen headed north on South Lake Drive. The victim was transported to Christus St. Michael, where he was treated for his injuries that included internal bleeding and a cut to his lip that required thirteen stitches.
