The Orlando Police Department shared an edited video montage of the alleged incident on its Facebook page. The beginning of the video appears to be surveillance video that shows the alleged suspect leaving her vehicle and jumping on the hood of one of the victim's vehicles.

It then appears she opens the door, where she allegedly assaulted the woman.

A woman said she was turning onto Millenia Blvd. when the driver of a white Kia, later identified as the suspect, Mandolyn A. Shaffer-Brockwell, kept stopping her vehicle short distances in front of her.

The woman honked, and attempted to change lanes to get away from her.

"The victim" informed the Kia cut across two lanes of traffic, got out, and jumped on the hood of (the victim's) white Kia Carnival," the report said.

"Honk at me again, (expletive)," the suspect reportedly said.

The woman told police that Shaffer-Brockwell jumped on the hood of her vehicle, then opened the driver's side door, and began to hit and punch her in the face. The woman told the suspect that she was pregnant and had a child in the car.

At a nearby light, another woman, 68, saw what was happening and got out of her vehicle to help, according to the report. "Get back in your (expletive) car," the suspect told her, the report said. She then scratched and hit the woman's face.

Police observed scratches on the older woman's face.

FOX 35 contacted both victims, who declined to be interviewed.

"Don't bite me," an officer yelled.
