(York, PA) Police have charged a Pennsylvania man with the assault of a woman on Interstate 83 in Baltimore County after rear-ending her vehicle.
The accused is Michael Henshaw, 30, of the 400 block of Old Stone Way in York, Pennsylvania. He is charged criminally with second degree assault, reckless endangerment and robbery. Additionally, he is charged with driving on a suspended,
out-of-state license, reckless driving, negligent driving, and failure to remain at the scene of an accident.
On August 2, Maryland State Police issued a composite sketch of Henshaw and a description of his vehicle, which had sustained front end damage during the incident. After receiving numerous calls from residents who recognized the drawing, Maryland State Police investigators, assisted by Pennsylvania State Police in York, were able to locate Henshaw at his residence. Henshaw was taken into police custody without incident. Currently, he is being held at Central Booking in Pennsylvania, awaiting extradition to Maryland.
On Friday evening, July 29, 2011, at approximately 10:00 p.m., a woman was driving north on I-83, near York Road, when her vehicle was struck from behind. Both vehicles pulled over and both drivers exited their vehicles.
Henshaw, believed to be driving the Jeep at the time, allegedly pleaded with the woman and offered money to settle the incident without police involvement. When the woman attempted to dial 9-1-1 from her cell phone, Henshaw knocked her to the ground. He reportedly grabbed her phone, and assaulted her, punching her multiple times.
During the altercation, she was eventually able to break away. Once free, she ran back to her vehicle and fled the scene.
