FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va.–Police say a Dale City man used his car to ram another driver three times and then threatened him with a nail gun.
The case of road rage started on Smoketown Road in Woodbridge at 12:25 a.m. Wednesday, when the victim called police to report his car had been rammed by a belligerent driver, said Prince William police spokesman Jonathan Perok.
The attacking driver then brandished what appeared to be a handgun and then drove off.
Later, police in Fairfax County stopped the driver on U.S. 1 in south Alexandria. The driver and another male passenger both bailed out of the car and led police on a foot pursuit. They were eventually caught, and police learned it was a nail gun that the victim in Woodbridge reported seeing, said Perok.
Police in both Prince William and Fairfax counties have charged the two men.
Dionel Dionisio Fuentes Barrios, 28, of 14667 Cloverdale Road in Dale City is charged with felony hit-and-run and with brandishing a weapon, Perok said.
He is charged in Fairfax County with reckless driving, DWI, hit and run and with driving on a revoked license. The passenger, Elvin Riveria Gomez, 30, of Sterling, is charged with drunk in public, said Fairfax police spokeswoman Tawny Wright.
