Tennessee authorities are searching for a man who was captured on video Saturday attacking a car with an ax during an alleged road rage incident in Memphis.

People in a nearby car took the video showing the suspect, who has not yet been identified, repeatedly striking a car on the driver’s side with the ax. 

Each time, he appears to pull the ax out of the holes he created to swing again.
