The bizarre incident involving Patrick Schwarzenegger, 21, a
model who is dating singer Miley Cyrus, occurred on Feb. 10 in
the San Fernando Valley section of the city and was first
reported by celebrity media on Tuesday.
A man behind the wheel of another car threw what appeared to be
water out of the window, striking Schwarzenegger's vehicle, and
then drove off, said Los Angeles police spokeswoman Officer
Rosario Herrera.
Schwarzenegger then drove after the man, and when the other
driver did a U-turn Schwarzenegger did the same and continued
his chase, police said.
Later, Schwarzenegger decided to stop following the other driver
and began making another U-turn, Herrera said. At that point,
the other driver turned around and struck the left rear side of
Schwarzenegger's car and then drove off, she said.
Schwarzenegger was unhurt, and he called police to report the
incident, Herrera said. It was unclear what might have motivated
the other driver to hurl water toward Schwarzenegger at the
beginning of the incident, she said.
Miley Cyrus was not in the car with Schwarzenegger during the
chase and collision, police said.
Patrick Schwarzenegger's manager could not immediately be
reached for comment.
He is one of four children of Arnold Schwarzenegger, the actor
and former bodybuilder who from 2003 to 2011 served as
California's governor, and Maria Shriver. After Arnold
Schwarzenegger admitted to fathering a child out of wedlock,
Shriver filed for divorce from him in 2011.
