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.

The series of alleged events took place in Volusia County and began in Ormond Beach, where a BMW owner briefly stepped away from his vehicle at Bicentennial Park while walking his dog.

A witness in the park recalled seeing a man who seemed disoriented get into the BMW. The witness later told the authorities that the individual had behaved oddly and had asked for help lighting a cigarette.
