U.S. Rep. Max Miller (R-OH) said in a social media post that he was run off the road on Thursday in Rocky River.

“As I was driving to work, some unhinged, deranged man decided to lay on his horn and run me off the road when he couldn’t get my attention,” said Rep. Miller.

He added that his family was threatened by a man who showed a Palestinian flag before taking off.

Miller also said the man yelled “Death to Israel” and threatened to kill him and his family.

He added that he carried on his meetings.

“I have filed a police report with Capitol Police and the local police department,” he wrote on his X account (formerly Twitter). “We know who this person is, and he will face justice.”

Our CBS affiliate in Cleveland, WOIO, reported later Thursday morning that a man from Westlake is now facing charges in connection with the incident.

Rocky River Police confirmed to WOIO that Feras Hamdan, 36, turned himself into their department with his attorney.

Hamdan has been charged with aggravated menacing.

The incident remains under investigation.
