Shocking footage has captured the moment a woman smashed the windshield of a car in a violent road rage incident.
New Zealand woman Chantelle Baker was driving behind a blue Mazda Demio on Saturday in Rangiora, near Christchurch, when the incident unfolded.
Video shows the moment two women suddenly sprinted out of the Mazda and ran toward Ms Baker’s car.
The windshield was shattered when one of the women jumped onto the hood and stomped on it.
The woman then jumped off the car, opened the driver-side door, and yelled ‘f*** off’.
Ms Baker quickly put the car in reverse and drove away from the scene as the women ran back to their own car.
Ms Baker claimed the road rage incident started after the driver of the Mazda nearly caused a crash at a merge lane.
‘They tailgated me as I slowed down to 40km (per hour) after witnessing them nearly crash behind me,’ Ms Barker said.
Ms Barker claimed the pair threw rocks at her car which hit a window where her eight-month-old baby was sleeping.
‘I then found them and tried to get a photo of their licence plate and as soon as they saw me stop they ran towards me, jumping on the windscreen and sending glass all through the car and opening my car doors trying to grab me,’ she said.
Ms Baker explained that the vehicle she was driving was a ‘borrowed car’ and that she now had to pay to replace the damaged windshield.
Police confirmed a report was received in relation to the incident.
‘One driver apparently followed another driver after a car failed to merge correctly,’ police told NZ Herald.
‘The cars have stopped at a petrol station where one person has reportedly got out and jumped on the other person’s vehicle, breaking a window.’
Police said the investigation was in its ‘early stages’ and no one was hurt during the incident.
Ms Baker is the daughter of former New Conservatives leader Leighton Baker and is a well-known anti-vaccine influencer.
In 2022, Baker’s Facebook page was deactivated by Meta after she shared misleading and ‘harmful information’ about the vaccine.
A report by independent research group The Disinformation Project found Ms Baker’s live broadcasts had greater engagement than mainstream media despite spreading false claims.
