A Beaverton man faces criminal charges after being accused of pointing a gun at three people in another vehicle and trying to ram them with his car during an apparent case of road rage Saturday, police say.

Someone in the other vehicle called 911 about 4:10 p.m. near Southwest Scholls Ferry Road and Cascade Avenue and reported Anderson Harguth, 32, tried hitting them with his Hyundai Sonata and threatened them with a handgun, said Officer Mike Rowe, a Beaverton police spokesman.

The people in the other vehicle gave responding officers Harguth's license plate number, Rowe said. Officers stopped Harguth as he drove into his driveway and he was arrested.

Two handguns were found in Harguth's car, Rowe said. He was booked into the Washington County Jail on charges of unlawful use of a weapon, reckless endangering, menacing and carrying a concealed weapon.
