A Hingham man is facing charges following a road rage incident in Cohasset.

Cohasset Police say that they received a 911 call from the victim, described as a 34-year-old from South Boston, following the incident which took place around 11 p.m. on Route 3A near Sohier St.

The victim said that the driver of a 2006 Jeep stopped in front of him and exited the Jeep wielding a metal expandable police baton.

They say the driver then began striking him about the head and body, as well as strangling him, before fleeing the scene.

The victim copied down the license plate and officers went to the home of the driver, 51-year-old Gregory D. Knowles.

Knowles was then placed under arrest and the Jeep was towed to Cohasset Police Headquarters.

Police they obtained a search warrant for the Jeep and found the expandable metal baton inside.

Knowles was scheduled to be arraigned Monday in Quincy District Court on charges Assault & Battery with a Dangerous Weapon (metal baton), Strangulation, Assault & Battery, and Witness intimidation.

Police say the victim sustained visible injuries but declined medical treatment on the scene.
