I got a call from the police today and they said the man is now in a stable condition and expected to make a full recovery. He doesn't want to press charges or pursue any legal action so it's the end of the matter. I'm going to use this as a lesson to remain calm in the future because life is precious and I've worked to hard in my life just to throw it all away with some poor choices.
a little late to this.. damn man that is nuts. happy he's ok and you're not getting in any legal trouble (presumably). sounds like it could have been way worse for you. I mean he was swinging at you with a wrench, wtf.. I picture a big wrench that could do some serious damage. Good thing you know how to defend yourself.
me personally, i'm avoiding any conflict.. if some road rager is freaking out, I def wouldn't want to confront him. Lots of people die like that here. I'd rather avoid/run and only fight as the very last option.
also, good stuff with the conditioning runs/sprints!
peace man
