NORTH FORT MYERS, Fla.- A 65-year-old North Fort Myers man is recovering in the hospital after he was beaten in an apparent case of road rage.

Lee County Sheriff's detectives say surveillance video captured 38-year-old Jason Stewart of North Fort Myers hitting the elderly man for nearly two minutes, while he was on the ground.

The attack happened Wednesday just before 9:30pm in the parking lot of the Pine Island Road Wal-Mart.

The victim's wife tells us her husband was leaving the restaurant, Arizona Pizza Company on Pine Island Road and was headed to the Wal-Mart parking lot.

On the way, she says her husband was nearly rear-ended by a speeding pick-up truck.

Sheriff's reports say the 65-year-old yelled at the driver to not drive so dangerously and went on his way.

Minutes later, detectives say the driver of that truck, identified as Stewart, followed the man to his parking spot and confronted him.

Two witnesses were loading up their groceries nearby when they say Stewart got out of his truck and yelled at the older man.

They told detectives the older man tried to calm Stewart down before Stewart hit the man in the face, causing him to fall down.

The attack didn't end there, witnesses then say Stewart then got on top of the man and continued to hit him.

Their story was backed up by surveillance video captured by Wal-Mart cameras.

The man's wife says he suffered a broken nose, collapsed sinuses and bruises all over his face.

We are not naming the victim at the request of his family.

Stewart then left the scene according to sheriff's reports, but returned a short time later.

He was arrested on scene and charged with aggravated battery and aggravated abuse on an elderly person.
