The victim told officers the incident happened because he had cut Bailey off in traffic. Bailey told police he used a machete but only because the other driver was following him, the report said.
Bailey was arrested on a charge of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. He remains in jail on a $10,000 bail.
The victim had a cut on his hand between his thumb and index finger.
