The Atlantic City, New Jersey Police Department has arrested a man with a handgun, following a road rage incident.

The Atlantic City Police Department has released the following details about this incident as follows:

“On February 10, 2025, at 11:46 AM, patrol officers responded to the first block of north Arkansas Avenue in reference to occupants of a vehicle reporting another driver threatened to shoot them and a handgun was observed.
