The victim said he honked his horn to urge the car in front of him to turn right at the light then the driver and passenger of that vehicle became upset.
"They went real slow," he said. "I went up around them and they gave me the finger. I did the same back, and then I looked in my rear-view mirror."
The victim said he then pulled off into a neighborhood at Prospect and East Myrtle avenues.

"It is a concern. We need to find out who these people are," said Lower Southampton Township Police Sgt. Mike Wojnar. "If anyone recognizes the vehicle or if anyone hears someone talking - sometimes people like to brag - notify us."
The victim said a woman was driving the car with a male passenger.
"You have to watch who you beep at anymore," he said. "Anything could happen on the road and that could be your last moment in life."
