A Hudson man forced another driver to crash into a bus terminal during a dangerous road rage incident Friday morning, police said.

Christopher Nazario, 31, of 11 Granite Hill Rd., Hudson, was charged with reckless conduct and criminal threatening.

Police said Nazario called them at about 5:30 a.m. and said he had a driver at gunpoint. Police said they learned Nazario and another man, Anthony Santiago, 30, got into a road rage incident starting at the Sagamore Bridge northbound. Driving on the Everett Turnpike, the pair then took Exit 5A to Ledge Street, police said.

“As Santiago traveled on Ledge Street Nazario passed him illegally,” police said in a statement. “Nazario became the lead vehicle and applied his brakes forcing Santiago to swerve to his left to avoid a collision. At that time Nazario turned his vehicle left colliding with Santiago’s vehicle. Santiago was pushed off the road causing his vehicle to collide with a bus stop terminal. Nazario then drew a firearm and ordered Santiago out of his vehicle and onto the ground.”

Police said Nazario had a loaded 9-millimeter handgun. Both men sustained minor injuries, police said.

Nazario was released on $10,000 bail pending an arraignment May 22.
