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. Police reports noted that a passing driver became impatient as he approached and blasted his horn before swinging around her vehicle. He then reportedly stopped in the roadway, got out, and shouted angrily as she was still trying to park. Investigators later wrote that he confronted her directly and accused her of intentionally obstructing his path.
