An 18-year-old allegedly assaulted a man so violently that the man’s jaw fractured in four places, officials said.

Joshua Suh of Buford was arrested Tuesday in connection with the Sept. 26 attack, Hall County sheriff's spokesman Scott Ware said.

Ware said the “road rage” incident happened in the 4300 block of Friendship Road.

Suh remains in the Hall County jail on aggravated battery and failure to yield the right of way charges.

An investigation is ongoing.
