A Florida man is behind bars after allegedly hitting another man with a leaf blower after a fender bender, according to the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.

According to an arrest affidavit, deputies were dispatched to the scene Saturday morning in reference to a car crash where one of the parties involved was struck with a leaf blower by the other.

The victim claims he was trying to operate his GPS while driving, which caused his work truck to hit a trailer attached to a truck, which then forced it to collide with a parked vehicle.

Deputies say that’s when Patrick Eittson, 60, ran out of his home to where his car was parked in front, armed with a leaf blower.

According to deputies, Eittson was described as being “irate” and slammed the leaf blower into the hood of the man’s truck. The victim then opened the door to his work truck, but was then met by Eittson who bashed him with a leaf blower instead of calming down as requested, deputies said.
