Officials in Montgomery County, Tuesday morning, arrested the man alleged to be the driver of a silver Honda that was involved in a road rage incident that quickly evolved into robbery at gunpoint.
According to police, the incident happened just before 7 a.m. on Monday, in Upper Moreland Township, on York Road near Davisville Road, near the Willow Grove Shopping Center.
Officers said the incident was sparked after a silver Honda Accord, believed to have been driven by the individual now in custody -- who has not yet been identified -- was driving erratically and caused minor collision after pulling in front of another vehicle.
After the crash, police said, the driver of the silver Honda stepped out of the vehicle and pulled out a black handgun and aimed it into the face of the driver of the vehicle that had collided with the Honda.
