A Florida woman was arrested after she allegedly punched a pregnant woman and attacked an elderly bystander during a road rage incident.

On Feb. 23, police responded to reports of a “battery related to a driving dispute” in Millenia Boulevard and Millenia Plaza Way. Mandolyn Shaffer-Brockwell, 37, allegedly assaulted two victims and a police officer, the Orlando Police Department (OPD) said in a news release on Facebook.

Shaffer-Brockwell allegedly punched a pregnant woman in the face inside her car, Fox 35 Orlando and WFTV Channel 9 reported. She is also accused of attacking an elderly woman and biting a police officer’s arm during the arrest.

In a video released by the OPD, Shaffer-Brockwell is seen jumping on the hood of a white SUV, opening the car door and punching the person in the driver’s seat. She is then seen attacking a woman on the side of the road and later biting a police officer’s arm while on the ground as officers handcuff her.

“Video shows the suspect, Mandolyn Shaffer-Brockwell, attacking and injuring an elderly victim. The victim provided a description of Shaffer-Brockwell and her vehicle, and an officer quickly located her,” the OPD said.

“When the officer attempted to detain her, she refused to comply, violently resisted, and bit the officer while trying to avoid being handcuffed,” the police continued. “Shaffer-Brockwell was eventually arrested and taken into custody.”

According to a police report obtained by Fox 35 Orlando, the pregnant driver whom Shaffer-Brockwell allegedly punched said that she “kept stopping short distances in front of her.” She honked her car and attempted to change lanes to get away from Shaffer-Brockwell. The suspect then cut two lanes of traffic before getting out of her vehicle.

"Honk at me again, (expletive)," police allege Shaffer-Brockwell said to the pregnant woman. She then allegedly jumped on the hood of her vehicle, opened the driver’s car door and hit and punched the woman.

In a 911 call made by the driver, 35, obtained by WFTV, she said, "a woman just assaulted me in my car." The alleged victim told authorities that she had a child with her in the car at the time of the attack, per Fox 35 Orlando.

A 68-year-old woman who witnessed the incident left her vehicle to help. Police claim Shaffer-Brockwell said, “Get back in your (expletive) car," and allegedly scratched and hit her face, according to the report, per Fox 35 Orlando.

The two victims have not been identified.

Shaffer-Brockwell, 37, was arrested and charged with battery on a person 65 years or older, burglary of a conveyance with assault/battery, aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting an officer with violence, per Fox 35 Orlando.

In the video of her arrest, Shaffer-Brockwell is first seen sitting on the ground as a police officer approaches her. "Just putting you in 'cuffs. You're going to be detained until I determine otherwise, understand?" he says to her.

"I plead the fifth," Shaffer-Brockwell says as she gets up. As the police officer tries to handcuff her, she shouts, "Tell me why! First tell me why!"

Shaffer-Brockwell is brought to the ground and she bites the officer on the arm. "Don't bite me!" The officer tells her.
