Shocking moment biker and Tesla owner get into fist fight during road rage incident in the middle of Pasadena street
- A Tesla driver and a biker came to blows in the middle of a Pasadena Street
- The driver's mother and a vlogger broke up the fight as a cop arrived
A motorcylcist and the driver of a Tesla were filmed in a fist fight during a road rage incident in the middle of a Pasadena street.
Video captured by video blogger Charlie Salinas shows how a verbal dispute escalated into a full-blown fight, leading to the two men wrestling on the sidewalk.
The incident happened on May 19 at the intersection of Fair Oaks Avenue and Holly Street in Pasadena, northeast of downtown Los Angeles.
It draws to a close when a woman, said by the Tesla driver to be his mother, shouts at the pair and a motorcycle cop with a taser drawn demands they sit on the curb.
When the video begins the two motorists were at a standstill - the Tesla driver was on the right-hand northbound lane of Fair Oaks Avenue as if he was preparing to turn right and the motorcyclist had cut off his path and was stopped just in front of him.
The biker put down the stand of his motorcycle, got off the bike, and headed toward the driver's side of the Tesla, where he engaged the driver through an open window.
Almost immediately the Tesla driver opened the door and the pair squared up to each other.
The motorcyclist was hard to make out as he was still wearing a helmet, but the driver said: 'Come right here, b***h, I ain't scared of s**t. You're the one with your helmet on.'
At that point, the biker looked like he was walking back to his bike but stopped at the driver's side door and started speaking to somebody inside the car, who the driver later said was his mother.
The driver then pushed the motorcyclist forcefully and a physical confrontation erupted.
Within around 15 seconds the biker's helmet fell to the ground and the two wrestled on the sidewalk for another minute or so before the woman and Salinas approach the pair and start telling them to quit fighting.
A police siren then rang and a motorcycle cop showed up with his taser drawn and the two disengaged.
'You hit me first,' said the biker, as the driver went to put on his left shoe, which had fallen off in the tussle.
The cop ordered the pair to sit on the curb, at which point the motorcyclist said, 'It's on the Tesla camera,' presumably referring to a recording of the incident that led up to the fight.
'His wife saw,' said the biker.
'That's not my wife, that's my mom you harassed,' said the driver before the video ended.
Salinas said in a subsequent video he posted to social media that he emailed his footage to the Pasadena Police Department, as had been requested.
'It's pretty scary,' he told KTLA. 'If anybody is out there driving, if they get confronted, I don't think you should get out of the vehicle at all. It doesn't matter if you're wrong or right. Just call 911.'
