If you've lived in Miami long enough, you've probably seen some crazy outbursts by drivers in downtown traffic. This one takes the cake.
In a viral video currently making the rounds on social media, a nattily attired man hops out of his Corvette convertible amid an apparent roadway confrontation with a woman at the wheel of an SUV at the intersection of Biscayne Boulevard and NE Ninth Street in downtown Miami.
Sporting a light-blue dress shirt, navy narrow-leg chinos, and fashionable shades, he performs a variation of the "suck it" gesture, waving his hands around his crotch toward his adversary. In response, the woman angrily flings what appears to be a plastic bottle in his general direction.
Then the fury is unleashed.
With remarkable speed given the tightness of his pants, the man darts to her car, leaps into the air, and karate-chops her driver's-side mirror, leaving it dangling by its electrical cable.Road rage in Miami pic.twitter.com/yjCGh9bThS

The witness recording the epic karate move from an adjacent lane lets out a protracted "Ooooooh" as Mr. Mirror-Chopper strolls casually back to his ride. As the stunned woman steps out of her car to record the man's license plate, he drives off.
"Do you have a video of that?" she asks the witness.
And scene.
Update published 7/30/2024: Reached by New Times, the Miami Police Department (MPD) says an initial search of its database did not turn up records of a police response to the incident.
"We thank you for bringing this video to our attention," an MPD spokesperson says. "We would like to take advantage of this opportunity to educate our community on the importance of remaining calm and composed when faced with situations depicted in the footage, and avoid taking any independent action. Instead immediately contact police."
