Road rage stabbing leads to Santa Rosa man’s arrest

A 34-year-old man was arrested Thursday evening on suspicion of stabbing another man in what police are calling a road rage incident in northwest Santa Rosa.

Fernando Delgado, a Santa Rosa resident, was booked into the Sonoma County Jail on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon. His bail was set at $30,000.

Officers responded shortly after 5 p.m. to Fulton Road near Piner High School after both Delgado and a man in a green Toyota pickup called police to report an altercation.

Delgado, who was driving a white BMW, and the other driver had been traveling in the northwest part of the city “when a dispute began over one of the involved parties’ driving,” according to a police press release. After traveling at high rates of speed, the two men stopped their vehicles near San Miguel and Fulton roads and got into a physical altercation.

The Toyota’s driver, whose name was withheld, was stabbed in an arm and leg with an unknown weapon, the press release stated. The man was treated for minor injuries at a local hospital.
