Police arrested an Ohio man in their investigation into a Thursday road rage incident in which Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio) said he was “run off the road” by a person with a Palestinian flag.
Rocky River, Ohio, police said on Friday that Westlake, Ohio, resident Feras S. Hamdan, 36, voluntarily turned himself in after the Rocky River Municipal Court issued an arrest warrant for aggravated menacing.
“The deranged hatred in this country has gotten out of control. Today I was run off the road in Rocky River, and the life of me and my family was threatened by a person who proceeded to show a Palestinian flag before taking off,” Miller, who is Jewish, wrote in a Thursday afternoon post to his X account.
The incident has drawn condemnations from lawmakers in the House and Senate, including House Democratic leadership and Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.).
The U.S. Capitol Police, Ohio State Patrol, FBI, Rocky River prosecutor’s office and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Ohio are also investigating the incident.
