NEAR MUKILTEO, Wash. --  Troopers are looking for a driver who angrily ripped off another car's spoiler then used it to bash in the car's rear window during a road rage incident Sunday evening.

"He bashed out the window and we're like, we're going to die," victim Emily Lawson said. "I thought he was going to kill us."

Lawson called 911 just before 6:30 saying that a black Nissan Cube cut her off as she and a passenger traveled south on the Mukilteo Speedway (SR-525), then drove at a very slow rate in front of them.

When Lawson motioned to the Cube driver to go faster, the Cube pulled over to the shoulder and the Lawson continued on.

"I kind of put my hands up in the air, like what are you going to do and he kind of flipped out," Lawson said.

Emily said she just kept going and she admits that she and her friend were laughing at the man's antics.  But then he started swerving toward her car.

"I was irritated with him at that point so I gave him the bird and I took off," she said.

But then the Cube then followed on the shoulder as the driver yelled at the victim.

A red light forced her to stop and that's when Emily says it really got ugly.

"I see him in my rear view (mirror) getting out of his car and just running towards us so I lock my door," she said. "He runs up, jumps on the car smashes his hand on the roof then jumps off, rips the spoiler off... and smashes the back window with it."

Totally in shock, Emily said it took her a second to realize she needed to get away.

Just as the driver was about to swing at Lawson's passenger, she drove off, but the man swung and hit her roof.  As Lawson was pulling away, the man threw the spoiler through the back window like a javelin, hitting her passenger. Luckily, she wasn't hurt.

"Freaking hulking on us," Lawson said. "Yeah, it was scary -- it was traumatic."

Lawson described the man as approximately 6 feet tall; 200 pounds with a muscle build and shaved head.  The man left the scene as the victims continued approximately one mile south from the scene of the incident before calling 911.

Lawson says she wants the guy to pay for the damage to her car, but she didn't get his license plate, nobody stopped to help her and the state patrol says nobody else called 911. The driver remains at large.

Anyone who saw this incident or has any other information is asked to call the Washington State Patrol at (360) 654-1204.
