BROOKLYN — A BREEZY POINT MAN who was run over in a road rage hit-and-run died as a result of his injuries in mid-November, the NYPD reported on Dec. 30. Thomas McDade, 55, was struck on Rockaway Point Boulevard close to his home on May 13 and was in a coma until his Nov. 16 death. The alleged perpetrator, Malcolm Anglin, 32, of Sheepshead Bay, was arrested in June and indicted in October on charges of second-degree attempted murder, first-degree assault, reckless endangerment and leaving the scene of an accident. Now, the investigation has been reclassified as a homicide, QNS reports.

The conflict between Anglin and McDade allegedly started as a cut-off incident that turned into a verbal dispute near Floyd Bennett Field and then devolved into an hour-long reckless car chase to the Rockaways, according to QNS. More than an hour after the incident began, McCade got out of his car and Anglin allegedly ran over him, then sped off. EMS transported McCade to Brookdale University Medical Center in Brownsville.
