HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A man was charged in what authorities are calling an apparent case of road rage.

According to Harris County Constable Mark Herman's office, Matthew Christopher, 21, was driving at a high rate of speed in the 22600 block of Tomball Parkway just after midnight.

A deputy tried to pull Christopher over, but he reportedly took off before losing control of the vehicle and slamming into a pole. He was not injured in the crash.

Deputies say he intentionally rammed into the woman's vehicle several times before taking off. A witness followed Christopher's vehicle and called authorities.

Christopher was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and booked into the Harris County Jail.
