Wild moment, irate driver points gun at motorcyclist in road rage fight before pair are immediately arrested by police
- Two men pulled out guns during a traffic standoff in Virginia Beach
- Video showed the moment the drivers were quickly stopped by officers
This is the wild moment an irate driver pulled his gun on a motorcyclist during a road rage incident before the pair were immediately arrested by police.
A witness captured the events that took place in broad daylight at a busy intersection when the car and bicycle were stuck in traffic in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
The pair are seen in a heated argument before the driver pulls a gun and then the motorcyclist appears to grab something from his bike.
But fortunately a police car arrives on the scene, which immediately starts shouting for the weapon to drop and orders the men to get on the ground.
In the footage posted to Reddit on Tuesday, the motorcyclist can be seen marching towards a Ford SUV, but then he suddenly stops and sees a gun pointed out the window.
A motorcyclist and a driver ended up in a standoff after their road rage incident escalated in Virginia Beach, Virginia
The driver pulled out a gun and pointed it at the motorcyclist who was about to attack the car as the vehicles waited in traffic at the busy intersection at Pacific Avenue and Virginia Beach Boulevard.
The motorcyclist appeared to pull his own gun from the bike seat in response, but police quickly arrived and the pair retreated.
The heated moment escalates further when the motorcyclist opens his bicycle saddle and appears to reach for something.
The driver swings open his door and points his gun at the door frame.
At this precarious moment, an officer darts toward them and tells the pair, “Put your gun down now” and “get on the ground.”
The motorcyclist disappeared toward the officer – who was stopped in front of a 7/11 across the road – while the driver put away his gun and fell to the ground.
In the background of the video, sirens blared and more police cars arrived on the scene.
Six law enforcement officers surrounded the car and handcuffed the driver and another person sitting in the passenger seat.
