Yes, the quote is from the sheriff.
So far there has been no comments presented to indicate that the driver even got out of the vehicle.
Regarding intentions...having been on the receiving end of dozens of road rage drivers as a cyclist and runner, the intent was likely just to make the cyclist stop uncomfortably fast and scare him, to impede him like the driver felt impeded by his presence. In other words, he likely intended to be a jerk. If he did intend to get out, it's usually a waving of hands and screaming match. Those types of people rarely intend to try and physically assault someone and IMHO nothing in this story indicates that the cyclist had any defendable reason to believe he was going to be physically assaulted.
