Gun-Wielding Route 50 Driver Is At Large: Police

ANNAPOLIS, MD — A motorist who was driving on Route 50 on Saturday night told the Maryland State Police that another motorist drove erratically and waved a gun at him, the police said in a statement. The State Police are investigating the incident as a case of road rage.

No shots were believed to have been fired and no injuries were reported, the State Police said. The individual who brandished the firearm drove away and could not be found.

Shortly after 8 p.m. Saturday, the unidentified motorist reported to the State Police that he had just been involved in a road rage incident on Route 50 near the Severn River Bridge. The man said the driver of a white Nissan Versa waved a gun in his direction, according to the police. (Get Patch’s real-time news alerts or like us on Facebook.

The victim was driving on westbound Route 50 when he said he spotted the Nissan driving erratically. As he tried to drive around the other car, the Nissan sped up, moved into his lane in front and “brake checked” him, suddenly tapping on his brakes.

Both vehicles kept moving westbound, and at some point, the victim said he pulled up next to the Nissan and the car's driver waved a gun in his direction.

Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call the police. You can reach the Maryland State Police at (410) 653-4200 or (800) 525-5555.
