According to Sacramento Police, the incident happened around 1:30 p.m. after two cars exited the freeway near X Street and 10th Streets. One of the drivers began repeatedly ramming his vehicle into the other several times before driving away.

The suspect, later identified as Garcia Alvarez, 40, rammed into another parked car pushing it into the intersection. Alvarez then got out of his car, jumped onto the roof of the other vehicle and began breaking out the windows.
