The situation was reported around 7:00 p.m., according to LAPD Harbor Division radio communications.

The male subject, described as between 40 and 50 years old with gray hair and possibly wearing a gray shirt, was reportedly seen yelling near a black vehicle. Details from multiple 911 callers suggested that an altercation had followed a crash, and medical assistance was requested out of concern for a possible injury.

We hope for a safe and swift resolution for all individuals involved in this incident.
Road Rage and Post-Crash Altercations in Los Angeles
Traffic collisions don’t always end when the vehicles stop moving. In many cases—such as the one reported Monday near Cahuenga Blvd—crashes escalate into verbal or physical confrontations between drivers or passengers, sometimes resulting in additional injuries or legal consequences.
Road rage and post-collision disputes are on the rise in dense, high-traffic regions like Los Angeles. Heavy congestion, stress, and emotional reactions to property damage can quickly turn a routine fender-bender into a medical or criminal emergency. While most post-accident interactions are civil, law enforcement increasingly responds to altercations that emerge in the moments following a crash.
When a verbal argument occurs near a damaged vehicle, emotions can run high, especially if one or more parties feels threatened or believes the other driver is at fault. In these cases, emergency medical aid may be needed—not just for crash-related injuries but for those sustained during or after a confrontation.
It’s important for all drivers and passengers to remain calm, avoid physical or verbal escalation, and wait for authorities to arrive if tensions rise. Exchanging information, documenting the scene, and prioritizing medical needs should always take precedence over confrontation.
If you or someone close to you was hurt during a traffic dispute or road rage incident, it’s critical to seek medical attention and report all details to local authorities.
