As per Tizzy, the incident took place when the woman, named Kali, was picking her son up from school. Things took a sour turn when Tupper parked his bicycle in the middle of the road, obstructing the traffic.
He was armed with a handgun and seemed to be wearing a police uniform.

In an effort to signal the former cop that the traffic lights had turned and the vehicles were moving, Kali tapped the horn. However, instead of moving, Tupper moved his bicycle in front of her car.
When she attempted to pass the man he punched and broke her side mirror and even brake-checked multiple times to provoke her.
Realizing the dangerous situation, Kali managed to pass him and performed a U-Turn to confront Tupper and get his insurance information for the damage.
