Nathaniel Radimak Sentenced to Five Years in Prison for Road-Rage Attacks

A 36-year-old Tesla driver, Nathaniel Radimak, has been sentenced to five years in prison after a series of road-rage attacks in Southern California. Radimak was caught on dashcam video terrorizing motorists and damaging cars on freeways across the region. The online court records show that he was found guilty of assault, criminal threats, vandalism, and elder abuse.

Radimak’s victims expressed their fear and concern even after his sentencing. One victim stated that she still felt terrified, especially since their names were now in the public record. Another victim shared her experience of being attacked on a freeway, where Radimak stopped his car and started hitting her. She believed that he would have broken her window if she hadn’t managed to escape.

District Attorney George Gascon acknowledged the fear that the attacks had instilled in the victims and emphasized that motorists in Los Angeles should not have to live in fear of being attacked while driving on the freeway.

Nathaniel Radimak’s Road-Rage Attacks

Radimak is accused of multiple attacks on motorists dating back to January 2020 in Southern California. According to prosecutors, he used a pipe to hit two cars on separate occasions, one on an LA-area freeway and another after following a couple from a shopping mall in Pasadena. He also threatened two women and broke one of their car’s headlights in November.

In June, he targeted a 74-year-old woman outside a doctor’s office in Glendale, a city located about seven miles north of downtown LA. Radimak has a long criminal history spanning nearly 20 years and several states, including previous charges of drug possession and battery.

Radimak’s restitution hearing is scheduled for November 8, and he is currently being held at the LA County Jail.
