Dad Arrested In Daly City Elementary School Road Rage

DALY CITY (CBS/AP) -- A San Mateo man is facing charges in what prosecutors describe as a road-rage incident at his daughter's elementary school.

Forty-three-year-old Vernon Suriaga allegedly bumped two 10-year-old boys directing traffic at Daly City's John F. Kennedy Elementary School with his car.

Prosecutors said Suriaga became enraged when the boys would not let him enter the school parking lot on Sept. 23.

The boys were hit in the abdominal area but did not fall.

San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said Suriaga also chased the boys and grabbed a third boy on traffic patrol and screamed at him.

He then allegedly walked his daughter, a second-grader, into the school before returning to his car and driving away.

Suriaga remains in custody on $150,000 bail.
