A Vermont man driving home from work nearly had his eyes gouged out by an angry driver during a "road rage" incident, cops report. The victim's dad says he almost lost his eyesight during the brutal attack, which allegedly started over the suspect not being allowed to pass.

Police officials told Law&Crime on Sunday that Aaron Williams, 44, of Colchester, allegedly "cut the victim off, got out of his car and started a physical altercation" with the man after being prevented from passing him on Malletts Bay Avenue in Winooski.

Williams is charged with felony counts of aggravated assault and maiming, the latter of which carries a maximum penalty of life in prison if convicted.

"It was a road rage-related incident," the Winooski Police Department told Law&Crime.
