“The victims in this case were reasonably terrified of what they went through, but that terror ends today,” Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon said of the attacks.

“Motorists in Los Angeles don’t have to live in fear of being attacked just by driving on the freeway.”

“Our office will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to determine if this individual has committed similar acts against people in Los Angeles County and elsewhere.”

According to KABC-TV, during one of the attacks on the road, a man who prosecutors claim is Radimac got out of his Tesla and viciously attacked the driver’s car with a pipe.

According to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, Radimak already has a pending case involving a similar road page incident.

He also faces criminal charges for possession with intent to sell a controlled substance in that earlier case in which authorities claim steroids were found in his car.

Radimak pleaded not guilty.

He is on $5.1 million bail following his arrest by California Highway Patrol, according to CBS News.

The prosecutor’s office seeks his further detention due to the fact that he can escape due to a significant criminal history, as well as a threat to society.
