A dispute between two drivers last night in Noe Valley escalated to aggravated assault after one attacked the other with a baseball bat.

The incident occurred on the 3800 block of 23rd Street around 11:30 p.m. when the suspect, a 62-year-old man, attacked a 34-year-old male victim during what police described as "a road rage incident."

It's unclear what preceded the attack, but the suspect fled the scene, and the victim was transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
