Police have arrested two people suspected of beating a woman and dragging her out of her car during a road rage incident in Pennsylvania, authorities confirmed to KYW-TV.

On the morning of Dec. 16, police were called to an area in north Jenkintown on a report of an assault, they said in a news release.

A video showed a woman being violently beaten by another woman while inside and outside her car. A man stood beside her while the woman was beaten, the video showed.

Police cautioned viewers that the video is “graphic in nature.”

The police department said the incident was related to road rage.

The video, posted by police, showed the woman getting out of her car and being approached by a woman and a man who were parked behind her on the street.

The two women began fighting, and the first woman was beaten while both inside and outside her car, the video showed. She was then dragged outside her car by the woman pictured in the video.

Authorities told KYW-TV that the two suspects were both from Philadelphia.
