Police say a man attacked three others with an Asp baton and a gun after a road rage incident.
Officer Katie Flood said officers responded to an assault at 1:49 am Thursday at 2805 Fletcher Ave.
Flood said two 22 year old men and a 22 yar old woman told officers that they were attacked and threatened by someone after a road rage incident.
Flood said the men were driving near 27th and Superior when they saw the suspect, later identified as 24 year old James Schwartztrauber, driving erratically. Flood said one of the men flipped him off and that set him off. Flood said Schwartztrauber followed the men to their apartment complex and when he got out he hit one of the men with a retractable steel baton called an Asp.
Flood said he also got a gun out of his truck and threatened the other two men before leaving.
A police officer spotted the truck at about 2:00 am and pulled Schwartztrauber over near 9th and Adams. He was identified as the attacker and the officer found a pellet gun and the baton inside the truck.
Schwartztrauber was arrested for two counts of terroristic threats, 2nd degree assault and use of a weapon to commit a felony.

i'm suprised this is the first thing hes been caught for. wonder if mommy and daddy will be payin this bill to?
LOTS OF E-THUGGIN GOIN ON UP IN HERE
Agreed Bill. Why didn't James get their license plate and call it in instead of following them? He knew exactly what he was doing, if the other guys rushed the car why didn't he pull the gun first thing rather than aggravating the situation even more? He had time to hit one with the baton then run back and get the gun. Sounds like whatever story Samantha got has some holes.
