A 63-YEAR-OLD man is in police custody and a 37-year-old man is in hospital with stab wounds after a road rage incident at Glenorchy this morning.
Police say an altercation between the two men unfolded after both drivers pulled up side by side at the intersection of Main Rd and Lampton Avenue about 10am.
The 63-year-old allegedly failed to turn left despite apparently being in a turning lane.
Both drivers then pulled up in the car park of nearby Supercheap Auto and the younger man was allegedly stabbed by the older man in the back and head after a verbal stoush.
One of the men pushed the other, according to police.
Police will allege the older man then produced a knife and stabbed the 37-year-old before leaving the scene.
"As a result of investigations conducted, detectives attended an address in Montrose where a 63-year-old male person was taken into custody without incident," Detective Inspector David Plumpton said.
The alleged offender was taken to Hobart Police Station, where he was awaiting interview this afternoon.
"While this matter has still to go before court in general terms, police would like to remind people that no matter what the reasons such behaviour will not be tolerated," Det Insp Plumpton said.
He said this was "an extreme example" of road rage and asked drivers to exercise patience on the roads at this busy time of year.
"Police ... are still appealing for witnesses to come forward who may have witnessed two Ford Falcon vehicles stationary at the intersection of Lampton Avenue and Main Rd prior to them both driving south on Main Rd," he said.
Witnesses can contact Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 or the Glenorchy CIB 6230 2821.
