When officers arrived on scene, they found the man standing outside his car covered in blood, according to a Riverside Police incident report.
The victim told officers that the alleged suspect didn’t move when the light turned green, so he honked his horn.
The suspect then got out of his car, approached the victim’s car, and said he wanted to fight, according to the incident report.
Not long after, both men were fighting in the roadway.

The victim “was able to get on top of the suspect which is when he states the suspect bit down on his finger,” the incident report stated.

The alleged suspect left the scene before police arrived, according to the police report.
