VALLEJO, Calif. - A road-rage attack in Vallejo was caught on video, showing a woman pepper-spraying an Army veteran she believed was driving too slow.

Cell phone footage taken by the victim shows a woman getting out of a Nissan Altima on Monday morning.

"You scared? You should be scared b-" the woman says before she sprayed an orange chemical liquid into the window of the victim's work truck.

The caustic chemical landed in both of Joe Vallely's eyes. "Ow!" he repeatedly yells on the video with expletives.

"Immediately felt the pepper spray. She was like 2 feet away. She got me directly in the eyeballs," Vallely said on Tuesday. "It felt like someone was sandblasting my eyeballs with glass."

"She slammed on her brakes, she forced me to slam on my brakes. And there's cars behind me that almost hit me. I almost hit the lady," he said.

And when she came out of her car, he says he began backing up - and never engaged with her.

"In the video, I said nothing. I wanted no confrontation. I wanted nothing to do with any interaction. I was just trying to avoid the situation at all costs," Vallely said.
