A ‘Karen’ attacked a man who tried to run away from her during a road rage incident – and soon found herself body-slammed to the ground.
The now-viral incident occurred on the morning of January 4 in Toledo, Ohio, when an unidentified woman in a blue Ford sedan with silver detailing hit the brakes.
After getting out of her car, she threw a volley of foul-mouthed threats at the red sedan behind her, with the altercation apparently starting over a bump between the two vehicles.
A pajama-clad man stepped out of the passenger door of the red car to protest to the irate woman.
The man decided there was no point in trying to calm her down and started walking away. That further enraged the unidentified ‘Karen’ and prompted her to land an unprovoked punch on the man when he turned around.
The man then quickly turned around and punched the woman, slamming her onto the icy road with a sickening blow before driving away in the red car.
The unnamed woman was left lying in the middle of the street and appeared to be holding her head and groaning in pain.
Moments after the intense altercation, a man driving a white SUV arrived on the scene and spoke with the woman before driving away.
It is unclear what sparked the brutal interaction or whether anyone was injured as a result, although Karen was heard accusing the occupants of the red sedan for getting too close to her blue Ford.
A ‘Karen’ was seen yelling at a male passenger in an apparent road rage incident in Toledo, Colorado on January 4
Moments after he walked away from her, the woman punched him in the face, causing him to hit her on the back, pick her up and slam her into the sidewalk.
Prince Flores, spokesman for the Toledo Police Department, told WTVG that no one reported the incident, so it was not investigated.
The violent moment occurred after the blue car screeched to a halt, followed by the red sedan pulling up behind it.
The angry woman then got out of her car and started yelling at the driver behind her.
“Let’s go, get out of the damn car,” she shouted as she opened her arms to the other driver.
The male passenger then got out of the red car while the woman continued to yell at the driver who remained in the vehicle the entire time.
“Go away!” she shouted again, before the driver said: ‘Don’t touch my car!’
“I didn’t touch your damn car. You were on my-” the angry driver said just before turning her attention to the man.
“My husband’s sitting right there. Come and put your fucking hands on me,” she told him.

She then told the man about the other driver before moving closer to him.
The woman then said, “Get out of my sight,” as the man backed up and tried to walk away.
She then slammed her fist into his face before he turned and punched her on the back.
The male passenger then threw her onto the icy sidewalk before walking back to the red car, getting into the passenger seat and fleeing the scene.
Seconds later, the woman started moving on the ground as she looked up and put her head in her hands.
Following the incident, Flores emphasized that patience is key when driving on the road.
‘We’re all going somewhere when we drive. We want you to make sure you get there safely,” Flores explained.
‘If you’re in a hurry, you’re late, you’re trying to get through traffic and there’s a traffic jam, you can get angry about something.

Officer Flores also noted that drivers can call 911 if they feel they are dealing with an aggressive driver.
“If you feel like someone is just taking aggressive action to get your attention, driving too close, honking the horn, things like that.
“What we want you to do is try to get away from them as safely as possible. If the problem persists, call 911,” Flores added.

In December, shocking footage captured an irate Colorado ‘Karen’ pointing a gun at a young couple after they honked at her in their car outside a supermarket.
The anonymous pair said they were trying to drive away from a crowded King Soopers parking lot in Federal Heights King when they got stuck behind a parked car.
Moments after the altercation, a man driving a white SUV arrived on the scene and spoke with the woman before both vehicles drove away
After waiting a moment to see if the car would move out of the way, they honked to “signal to move on,” the couple told FOX 31.
But the trivial parking lot exchange soon took a drastic turn when the woman driving the car in front of them jumped out of her car and came towards them.
“She started walking towards us and it looked like she was cursing at us,” the couple said. When the woman began approaching them, they began recording the interaction.
They soon realized that she was holding a gun with a blue laser pointer attached to it.
One of the scared passengers said: ‘I looked down at my shirt and I saw the laser on my shirt and I thought, we have to go, we have to go, like I was really scared.
“There was no altercation before or anything. Maybe that makes me feel like I should have been more patient and just waited, because maybe that wouldn’t have happened.”
