The Hillsborough Sheriff's says it happened Wednesday morning at the McDonald's on Highway 301 in Riverview. Investigators say Mohammad Abukhder was in the drive-thru lane when 45-year-old Rebecca Simmons tried to cut in line.

Abukhder shouted profanities at Simmons, who then got out of her vehicle and allegedly stabbed the hood of Abukhder's car with a knife.
