Sandy Springs police have arrested a Marietta doctor suspected of punching a woman in the face during a Monday afternoon road rage incident.
Daniel E. McBrayer, 58, was arrested following an investigation into an assault reported by a woman who told police that McBrayer, following a traffic altercation, got out of his car at the intersection of Roswell and Abernathy roads, walked up to her car and struck her in the face, Sandy Springs police Lt. Steve Rose said.
The victim, whose name has not been released, was treated at a local hospital and released.
McBrayer is an ob-gyn who, according to the Composite State Board of Medical Examiners, was disciplined in 2001 for performing second-trimester abortions in his Marietta office. Performance of abortions after the first-trimester in a non-hospital setting or in an unlicensed abortion facility is a violation of Georgia law.
According to the consent order agreed to by McBrayer, who also admitted that he had not filed certificates of abortions as required by Georgia law, he was fined $5,000 and his medical license was placed on probation for two years.
Rose said McBrayer turned himself in Wednesday night at Sandy Springs police headquarters, where he met with detectives. He was taken to the Doraville Jail, and was booked on a simple battery charge.
McBrayer was released shortly before midnight Wednesday after posting $1,500 bond. A court date has not been set.
