Jamaica man pays for
road rage mallet attack
A Jamaica man was sentenced for
striking a delivery truck driver with a
rubber mallet during a road rage incident
in Brooklyn last year, prosecutors
announced on Nov. 20.
Damian Bailey, 36, was
sentenced to three years
in prison and three years’
post-release supervision
following his conviction
last month for second-degree
assault.
According to trial testimony,
at around noon on
March 20, 2016, Bailey was
driving a dollar van in the
vicinity of 98 Flatbush Ave. when he
struck a Fresh Direct delivery truck,
driven by a 23-year-old man. Following
the collision, Bailey and the victim exited
their vehicles and got into an argument.
As the victim stood in front of Bailey’s
van and attempted to take a photo of the
license plate, law enforcement sources
said, Bailey got back in his van and
drove forward, forcing the victim to
grab onto the hood of the van.
Prosecutors said that Bailey drove
about half a block with the victim clinging
onto the hood before he got out of
the van and struck the victim multiple
times with a rubber mallet.
Many nearby motorists fl agged down
an NYPD offi cer, pointing
in the direction of Bailey
and the victim. Th e offi -
cer left his vehicle and saw
Bailey holding the mallet
and walking away from the
victim, who was in a fetal
position on the ground next
to the dollar van, according
to trial testimony.
Th e victim was taken to
Methodist Hospital. He suff ered three
broken vertebrae to his spine and bruises
to his shoulder and knee.
Acting District Attorney Eric
Gonzalez said, “Th is defendant inexplicably
escalated a minor traffi c incident
into an assault and left the victim with
serious injuries. Such unwarranted violence
should never be a response to a
dispute, making today’s prison sentence
appropriate and just.”
