Ohio Rep. Max Miller Threatened, Suspect Arrested in Road Rage Incident

Ohio Rep. Max Miller (R) was the target of a road rage incident in Rocky River, Ohio, where a man, identified as Feras Hamdan, allegedly ran him off the road while displaying a Palestinian flag and making antisemitic threats against Miller and his family. Miller, a Jewish American and Marine, reported the incident to local and federal authorities, leading to Hamdan's arrest on a misdemeanor charge of aggravated menacing and a protection order filed by Miller. The Rocky River Police Department, alongside the U.S. Capitol Police and other agencies, are investigating the case, which Miller described as blatant antisemitic violence. Miller emphasized his commitment to fighting antisemitism, Islamophobia, and all forms of hate, and warned others against similar attacks. The incident has drawn condemnation from Democratic leaders, who cited the rising political violence against lawmakers. This event follows a broader national concern about threats targeting public officials, highlighted by recent shootings involving Minnesota state legislators.
