Road Rage Suspect Threatens Driver with COVID-19 Virus

On 4/2/20 a package delivery driver reported that she was stopped on Webster St. delivering a package when Ric Malik, 58 of Delanco, pulled up behind her delivery vehicle. The victim stated Mr. Malik became agitated at having to wait for her to complete her delivery.

Malik reportedly drove his vehicle into the rear of the  delivery vehicle.  He then exited his vehicle and attempted to gain access to the passenger side of the delivery vehicle but was unsuccessful.  He moved to the driver's side, opened the door and grabbed the driver by her arm and said, "I have the COVID-19 Virus."  He then walked to the back of the delivery vehicle and ripped off the paper temporary license plate and fled.

Riverside Detectives were able to identify Malik.  He has been charged with Terroristic Threats, Simple Assault, Theft, Hindering, Leaving the Scene of an Accident, Reckless Driving, and other motor vehicle offenses.
