An allegedly tense encounter in a Miami neighborhood led to the arrest of a Florida man after the authorities said he threatened a couple with both a knife and a gun during a road-rage outburst.

The incident reportedly occurred on November 6, when a woman was slowly backing into her driveway along a residential street.
