Road rage incident led to fight involving sword and homemade flail

Police in Austin, Texas, arrested 34-year-old Kia Cameron Paya-Akhavan for attacking another man following an alleged road rage incident, a sword fight and an attack with a homemade flail. According to the arrest affidavit, a man spotted Paya-Akhavan driving his Mercedes recklessly in Southwest Austin just after 3:45pm on Friday.

The man, also driving a Mercedes, was upset about Paya-Akhavan's reckless driving near a daycare, decided to take a picture of Paya-Akhavan's car and licence plate at an intersection. This was followed by a heated exchange between the two men after which both men turned in different directions. Paya-Akhavan then made a U-turn and followed the man in his car.



When the man got out of his car, Paya-Akhavan hit him with a water bottle before punching him in the chest, ending in an altercation on the street. After a neighbour broke up the fight in the street, Paya-Akhavan followed the man to his house and pulled up behind him, blocking his driveway. According to affidavit, Paya-Akhavan then attacked the man's car with a metal sword, attempting to chop down the driver's side of the door.

The man backed his car into Paya-Akhavan's in an attempt to get away. Paya-Akhavan then drove away, only to come back a few minutes later, attempting to run over the man in the street twice before eventually attacking the man with a homemade flail. Paya-Akhavan left shortly after the two had another physical altercation. Police charged Paya-Akhavan with two cases of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon as well as aggravated assault with a motor vehicle.

Sounds like a Florida story. I'm embarrassed to say that's my town.
