ATTLEBORO, Mass. -- A Rhode Island man is under arrest after police said he body slammed a woman in an apparent case of road rage in Massachusetts Friday morning, WBZ reported.
The victim says it is a miracle that the situation was not worse.
She is in a lot of pain, but is also thankful to be home after being slammed to the ground in a disturbing video.
"By the time that I realized I was in the air, and I thought to myself, 'I might die right now,'" said victim Hailea Soares.
The apparent road rage attack, which happened in Attleboro, was so violent that Soares says it is a wonder that she is home from the hospital.
Police said a man is seen on cellphone video snatching the petite mom of two young kids out of her car, picking her up and then slamming her head-first on the ground.
"It was like a weird sensation I felt on my face, and I realized I was on the ground, and I rolled over, and there was blood dripping all over my hands," Soares said.
Pictures captured the brutal aftermath.
Soares suffered a very serious injury to her skull and eye socket. Her knee and foot are broken. She said she could not move them.
"All I could think was, I'm not going to be able to walk again. I can't even tend to my kids, I can't even walk up a staircase, I can't put my own sock on my foot," Soares said.
Investigators said the victim had just been in a fender bender with the suspect, Gladior Kwesiah.
"He was just being a jerk-off on the road," Soares said.
