Officers charged John Gordon Guinn, 23, of the 300 block of King Street, with fourth-degree assault after the road rage incident Wednesday evening. Police Lt. Mike Moran said Guinn pulled up behind a 21-year-old Medford woman on Stewart Avenue waiting at a red light to turn right onto Barnett Road at about 6:20 p.m. Displeased when she didn’t make the turn, he began honking wildly. Guinn then followed her to the next light at Barnett and Alba Drive, got out of his car — leaving his wife and child in the vehicle — and confronted a passenger in the woman’s car, Moran said. He tossed a punch through the passenger’s window, grazing the passenger and hitting the driver above her right eye. She called police, who responded and arrested Guinn. A Mercy Flights ambulance crew treated the woman for swelling near her eye.

If someone is driving erratically and dangerously, people should contact police, and be willing to sign a citation and appear as a witness if necessary, he said.
