FRANKLIN PARK (KDKA) -- Police in the Borough of Franklin Park are looking for the driver a dark colored SUV who was involved in a violent road rage incident late Friday afternoon.
The face-to-face confrontation happened on Brandt School Road, where it intersects Rt. 910.
"It started, and continued down Brandt School Road, when the two vehicles stopped at a traffic signal, there was a confrontation, it got physical, and the driver of the SUV got out of his car, and shoved the unidentified elderly driver to the pavement after the elderly driver exited his car, and approached him," Franklin Park Police Sgt.

Police have a partial plate number of the SUV, and investigators are working with Penn DOT to try to identify the suspect driver.
