WESTFIELD – A city man was summonsed to court after he lost his temper while driving.
Sean T. Csogi, 27, of 600 Southampton Road, was released on his personal recognizance after being arraigned April 15 in Westfield District Court on charges of malicious damage to a motor vehicle.
Westfield police joined Massachusetts State Police troopers who were involved in a road rage incident at 1:46 p.m. on February 3 that had started on Southampton Road.
The two vehicles involved in the incident were stopped on the Massachusetts Turnpike near the MSP barracks when Westfield police arrived on scene, according to court records.
Csogi told Westfield Police Officer Timothy Grady that the other driver had been operating his vehicle “erratically” and as he followed that vehicle towards the turnpike, the driver “was giving break tests and still operating erratically,” according to court records.
Therefore, Csogi threw an engine plug at the other vehicle, which smashed the rear window.
The victim told Grady that Csogi was the person who had been operating erratically.
“As I was at the rear of the vehicle the window glass was inside and I observed a spark plug,” Grady wrote in his report.
The victim said that Csogi “threw something” at his vehicle, which smashed the rear window, as he attempted to turn left into River Bend Medical Center, according to court records.
Csogi is due back in court for a pretrial hearing on June 8.
