Miguel Grosso-Hernandez arrested and charged with aggravated assault after road rage incident on Katy Freeway ticket

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A man says he’s still in disbelief for days after he was boxed in and shot on the Katy Freeway on-ramp.

It was captured on a dashboard camera that he said he had installed just a few days earlier.

Jose, who asked Eyewitness News to conceal his identity, says he had just left his late cousin’s grave Monday afternoon when he encountered another driver in a parking lot.

“He was in front of me and I just went around him,” Jose said. “That’s all it took to get him turned off.”

Jose said the man followed him onto the Katy Freeway feeder road.

As Jose pulls into the Blalock Road driveway, his dashboard camera shows the other driver pulling out in front of him before he hits the brakes.

“He checks the brakes, but at the same time he pretends he’s driving away, but he’s not,” Jose said.

Jose ends up crashing into the back of the car.

A few seconds later, the other driver comes to a complete stop in the driveway, forcing Jose to stop behind him.

The video shows the driver getting out and walking to Jose’s car with a gun in his hand.

“When I heard the gun on my window, I thought, ‘Oh yeah, that’s a real gun,’” Jose said.

Jose said the driver uses the gun to bang on his window, causing him to drop it.

That’s when Jose floors the floor and takes out the other driver’s door as he maneuvers around his car.

It’s at that point, he said, that he hears three gunshots and turns around to see the other driver pointing a gun at him.

“We are fortunate that no one was killed or injured in this case,” said attorney Spencer Welch, who hired Jose to explore legal action against the other driver.

Police say both men called 911. Ultimately, Miguel Grosso-Hernandez was arrested and charged with aggravated assault.

Jose suspects the outcome would have been different if it weren’t for his dashboard camera.

“It saved my freedom because it was his word against mine,” he said.

Grosso-Hernandez was released from jail after posting $30,000 bail and is due back in court on January 17.

“Believe it or not, I pray for that person. I pray he gets help,” Jose said.
