A Sioux Falls man was arrested after police say he pointed a gun at someone during a suspected "road rage" incident early Tuesday morning.

Police say a 21-year-old man was driving near 12th Street and West Avenue at 1:57 a.m. on New Year's Day when he got into an altercation with another driver. McManus did not know what caused the issue, but said it was "road rage"-related.

The passenger of the other car allegedly pointed a gun at the other driver before driving off. Officers stopped a car matching the description given by the victim at Eighth Street and Lake Avenue.

Police discovered that the passenger had a warrant out for his arrest since October on charges of carrying a concealed weapon without a permit, McManus said. Officers searched him and allegedly found bullets in his pocket, but no gun. Police believe the man may have handed the gun off to someone else after fleeing the scene.

Amanuale Wubu Zewdie, 22, was charged with aggravated assault, along with the charge from his original warrant, Capt. Loren McManus of the Sioux Falls Police Department said.
