Trial ordered in alleged road rage attack on Pirate catcher's wife

(CSB/AP) PITTSBURGH - A man charged with assaulting the wife of Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Chris Snyder during a road rage incident has been ordered to stand trial.

Investigators say 44-year-old Subhash Modhwadia was riding a scooter when he nearly collided with the sport-utility vehicle being driven by Carla Snyder on June 15. Modhwadia allegedly followed Snyder into a parking lot, kicked the SUV and swung at her.

A Pittsburgh judge Wednesday ordered Modhwadia to be tried on charges including aggravated assault and criminal mischief.

Authorities say an off-duty police officer and a passer-by subdued Modhwadia until police arrived.

Pittsburgh police say Chris Snyder was in the passenger seat unable to help his wife because of recent back surgery.

Modhwadia is being held on $25,000 bail.
