"Unfortunately, it has become a rising trend all across the United States. With everyone having cell phones, there are so many different distractions," Anne Arundel County Police spokesperson Lt. Ryan Frashure.
Two cases of road rage just hours apart -- two incidents that could have easily been deadly.
"Who's to say? You never know who's in that car next to you. There's a lot of crazy people in this world. That's why the safe bet is just call 911," Frashure said.
The suspects in both cases will be charged with assault, police say.
If you find yourself in this situation, police urge people to take down the license plate number, do not record on your cell phone and immediately call 911.
