Thirty six year old Kevindale Nurse has been charged in a road rage incident that took place in Crown Heights seven months ago, injuring two Verizon workers when he threw an explosive device into their work van.

As previously reported on CrownHeights.info, the Verizon utility van with two workers inside, got into a road rage incident with the driver of an unmarked dollar van in the area of President Street and Brooklyn Ave on the evening of January 31st. The fight escalated and the driver of the dollar van threw an explosive device into the cab of the Verizon van.

Sensing the danger, the driver and passenger of the Verizon van quickly escaped the cab, and not a moment too soon. Moments later the device exploded, and the blast wave wrecked the inside of the cab and left the two workers with blast related injuries.

A Crown Heights Shomrim volunteer on patrol in the area heard the blast and rushed over, assisting as the Police and Fire Department arrived.

The damage caused by the blast was severe, completely deforming the dashboard of the vehicle and shredding the cab interior. The blast also reached the vehicle’s engine block, which caught on fire and was extinguished by the Fire Department.

Surveillance video of the incident was obtained by the NYPD.
