Lafayette mother says daily bike ride turned violent

LAFAYETTE, La. — A routine afternoon bike ride for a father and son turned into a frightening encounter on Monday, leaving a Lafayette family shaken just days before the holidays.

The incident happened near Maryview Farm Road and Moss Street. Brooke Rochelle says she arrived to pick up her son after his father and her son Korbyn spent time riding bikes in the area.

“My husband and my son were on the way back from the park on the bikes," she said. "My little boy didn’t want to walk home anymore, so my husband called and said, ‘Hey, can you come get Korbyn?’”

While they were on the phone, Rochelle says her husband noticed a vehicle approaching too quickly.

“My husband yelled, ‘Can you slow down?’ So I guess that's when everything started. The girl stopped, and I could hear her yelling,”
