A woman was driving and was waiting to enter the Horace James Circle Rotary in Brookline when the driver of a vehicle behind her began blowing the horn to get her to go. When she did proceed, the vehicle tailgated her and swerved on either side in an attempt to pass her on Newton Street and then on Brookline Street in Newton. The woman finally pulled over in front of Memorial Spaulding School and the other driver stopped too, and blocked her in. The other driver, a woman, got out of the car and began pounding on her car and yelling obscenities. The first driver yelled that she would call the police, and the second driver got in her car and pulled away. As she left she yelled, "I am the police." The second driver did not show a badge and there were no markings showing the vehicle was a police vehicle.
