Miguel Grosso-Hernandez was arrested and charged with aggravated assault following road rage incident on Katy Highway entrance map

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A man says he’s still in disbelief, days after he was pinned down and shot on a Katy Freeway entrance ramp.

It was taken with a dashcam he said he installed just a few days ago.

Jose, who asked Eyewitness News to conceal his identity, said he had just left his late cousin’s cemetery Monday afternoon and encountered another driver in the parking lot.

“He was in front of me and I went around him,” Jose said. “That’s all it takes to piss him off.”

Jose said the man followed him to the Katy Beltway feeder road.

As Jose entered the Blalock Road entrance ramp, dashcam shows the other driver cutting him off before applying the brakes.

“It’s controlling the brakes but it’s also acting like it’s taking off but it’s not taking off,” Jose said.

Jose crashes into the back of the car.

Seconds later, the other driver came to a complete stop on the entrance ramp, forcing Jose to stand behind him.

In the video, the driver can be seen getting out of the vehicle and walking towards Jose’s vehicle with a gun in his hand.

“When I heard the gunshot at my window, I said, ‘Yes, that’s a real gun,'” Jose said.

Jose said the driver used the gun to hit his window, dropping the gun in the process.

That’s when Jose lowers the car to the ground, opening the other driver’s door while maneuvering around his car.

He said that at that moment he heard three gunshots and when he turned around he saw the other driver pointing a gun at him.

“We are fortunate that no one was killed or injured in this case,” said Spencer Welch, the attorney Jose hired to pursue legal action against the other driver.

Both men called 911, police said. Miguel Grosso-Hernandez was eventually arrested and charged with aggravated assault.

Jose suspects the outcome might have been different if it weren’t for the dashcam.

“That saved my freedom because his word was against mine,” he said.

Grosso-Hernandez was released from jail after posting $30,000 bail and is due back in court on January 17.

“Believe it or not, I’m praying for that person. I’m praying that he gets help,” Jose said.
