WATCH: Road rage suspect drags mom out of vehicle, body-slams her on pavement

"He kept slamming on his brakes and then when we got to the intersection, he hit a light and he was in front of me," Soares told the outlet. "As soon as we went through, we didn't even make it across and he slammed on the brakes, so I hit him."

When Soares tried to take photos of the damage to her vehicle, the attacker yanked away her phone, she said. 

"I tried to defend myself, and then he picked me up, and that was when the woman got the video of me being thrown to the ground," she told WHDH. "I remember thinking, 'I'm in the air right now. I'm in the air.'"

Soares was taken to Sturdy Memorial Hospital suffering from a broken knee, a broken foot, an injured eye socket and a serious head wound, according to WHDH.

Attleboro police Sgt. Kevin Sellers told WHDH the incident was "inappropriate and unacceptable conduct stemming from what was essentially a minor motor vehicle crash."

Soares said she was just happy to survive the attack.

A GoFundMe initiative for Soares' medical expenses had raised nearly $29,000 as of Tuesday afternoon.
