A man was arrested Friday afternoon for pulling a gun on another driver in a road rage incident on Rainier Avenue.

Officers found the suspect’s vehicle parked in the 2200 block of South Lucile Street, according to the Seattle Police Department. The suspect was arrested as he walked out of the house he was parked in front of.

The suspect was booked into King County Jail for investigation of harassment.

The road rage incident occurred while traffic was stopped at the intersection of Rainier Avenue and South McClellan Street around 11 a.m. The other driver told officers that when the light turned green, the first car at the light, driven by the suspect, didn’t notice. The driver honked the car’s horn to alert the driver. At that time, the suspect leaned out of the car and pointed a handgun at the other driver, according to the police department.

The other driver took a picture of the suspect’s license plate and called 911.
