A woman is facing a string of charges after a bout of road rage in Dartmouth on Tuesday afternoon that allegedly saw her spit in another driver's face and threaten to slash his tires.

A 27-year-old man told Halifax Regional Police he honked his horn at a woman after she cut him off in traffic.

When both vehicles stopped at the next intersection at Albro Lake and Victoria roads, the woman got out of her car and approached the man's vehicle. Police said she spat in the man's face, took out a knife and said she was going to slash his tires.

The woman then dropped the knife, ran to her car and drove away.

The man wasn't injured.

Police were called to the scene at around 4 p.m.

Woman found in Lower Sackville

The woman's car was later spotted by police in Lower Sackville and the woman was arrested at around 4:40 p.m.

The accused, a 24-year-old woman from Lower Sackville, has been charged with assault with a weapon, assault, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and possession of a prohibited weapon.

Prohibited knives include weapons like switchblades.

The woman is set to appear in court on Aug. 15 to face the charges.
