STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. (PIX11) – A machete-wielding man who was shot in an alleged road rage incident on Staten Island this week is facing a slew of charges, according to the NYPD.
Sidney Rivera, 45, faces multiple counts of assault, criminal possession, menacing and criminal mischief. He allegedly used the machete to smash another driver's window Wednesday, according to authorities.
