cut him up and block him in
The expression used in the UK is 'cut someone up'
https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/cut_someone_up
But it wouldn't be to force someone to stop, so you probably need a couple of verbs.

Investigators said Anderson’s black Toyota sedan was cut off by a gray Dodge Caravan along the 3500 block of Northeast 192nd Street.
...
“That’s when the Dodge Caravan cut them off.”
“The driver of the Caravan exited the vehicle. He had two firearms in his hand; he pointed them at the Uber driver and demanded items,” said Goranitis. “He threatened to shoot him if he didn’t [comply] with those demands.”
