Tow-truck driver attacked on beltway
Posted by Jeff Quinton on April 23, 2008State Police say a tow truck owner-operator was burned by two men who flagged his vehicle down on the Baltimore Beltway and set him afire.
Troopers say the unidentified driver was traveling northbound on 695′ s Outer Loop near Pulaski Highway/Route 40 about 11 p.m. Monday, when two black men in a red Ford Escort on the shoulder waved to him to stop.
After discussing the cost of towing the men’s car with the tow driver, one man threw a flammable substance on the driver and the other man used a lighted cigarette to ignite it.
The tow truck driver’s shirt flamed, burning him on his arms, hands and face, troopers say. The two attackers fled.
