Man in road-rage dispute attacks family in car with kids, deputies say

Nadia McClean, her mother and two small kids had just left McDonald's and were next planning to shop at a plaza in suburban West Palm Beach.

But the family's afternoon of errands turned frightening this month when a driver armed with some kind of pipe or crowbar ran toward them and attacked in a fit of road rage, authorities say.

The McCleans still were inside their blue Infiniti when the man — apparently angry that McClean hadn't turned onto a road fast enough — started shattering their windshield while cursing, according to a Palm Beach sheriff's report.
