"He did what I call his best 'Matrix' impersonation because he dodged back, and he was just caught with the tip," Guzman said.
The suspect, identified as 61-year-old Luis Ruiz Herrera, confessed to the crime, police said. He now faces a charge of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
In court, Herrera was granted a $10,000 bond and ordered to stay away from the victim.

Guzman said confrontations over road rage just aren't worth it.
"When you actually see it first-hand, it's quite shocking," Guzman said. "Somebody cuts me off, personally, I just let it go."
