CENTREVILLE, Md. (AP) - Maryland State Police have arrested a man who they say intentionally drove his car into another motorist and tried to kill them.

A news release on Monday says a 911 call indicated a motorist deliberately rammed and attempted to run another vehicle off westbound Route 50 west of Nesbit in Queen Anne's County on Saturday. A subsequent 911 call came from the victim, who identified the other driver as her son, who deliberately attempted to kill her.

Police said the woman was not hurt.

Officers located 29-year-old Race Nelson Robinson in Catonsville, where he was taken into custody. The Queen Anne's States Attorney office filed multiple charges against Robinson, including attempted second-degree murder and first-degree assault. It wasn't known on Monday whether Robinson has an attorney.
