A man driving eastbound on the Long Island Expressway in Roslyn Heights with his family on Monday was threatened with a gun by another driver in what police are terming a road-rage incident.
Nassau County police said the assailant pulled in front of the victim and applied his brakes.
As the victim pulled into the HOV lane to pass the man’s vehicle, the assailant rolled down his window and pointed a black handgun at the victim, police said. He then fled.
The assailant is described as a male white, late 20s with red hair operating a 2008-9 black Honda Civic 4-door sedan with tinted windows, a Jets sticker in rear window with yellow New York registration plates.
Detectives request anyone with information regarding this incident to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS.
