NEW YORK (WABC) -- A case of road rage erupted on the Brooklyn Bridge Wednesday, one that involved not only punches, but also Pringles.

A cab driver and an elderly couple in an SUV got into a dispute over a merge into a lane, and the cab driver ended up throwing a can of Pringles at them.

Then, a woman and the cab driver got out of the car and started fighting.

Someone who appeared to be a Good Samaritan came over. But instead of making peace, he joined the fight and punched the cabbie.

By the time police arrived, everyone involved had left.
