  'They broke my rear view mirror and started to throw the poles at my truck, like spears.'

  The driver claimed that his explosive reaction was due to feeling threatened by the van drivers, he added: 'I was scared. They threw a metal pole at my windscreen and it almost hit me. I didn't know what to do.'

  Evelyn Matthei, mayoress of the Providencia district in Chile's capital said: 'I can't believe the madness we're living through. This is criminal conduct I can't understand.' 

  Police arrested both drivers involved.
