CALGARY — A Calgary mother is recovering after being injured by a man who attacked her in an alleged road rage incident.

Karalie Red Old Man said she was driving her daughter from piano practice on Wednesday when a BMW started honking because it couldn’t pass her van.

Police say the BMW aggressive­ly tailgated the van, hitting the back of it at one point. When she stopped, the BMW boxed her in.

“He pulled my head out of the vehicle and I wasn’t able to fight back because my arms and my body were still in the vehicle,” she said.

“He proceeded to grab my head in the back and he kept banging and smashing my face on the vehicle.”

Red Old Man said when her husband showed up the brother of the man she was grappling with joined the fight. When bystanders called police the men drove away in a silver two-door BMW.
