Stamford police seek driver in road rage incident

STAMFORD — Police are looking for a man who pointed a gun at another driver during a road rage incident last week.

A motorist told police he was stopped for a red light on West Broad and Schuyler streets about 8 p.m. Thursday when a man behind him in a work van started beeping his horn, urging the driver to move along even though he was stopped for the light, Sgt. Robert Shawinsky said.

The victim said the other driver got out of his van and pointed a gun at his face before getting back into his vehicle and driving off, Shawinsky said.

“The sharp eye of the victim was able to get the license plate number of the vehicle, which came back to a business,” Shawinsky said.

The case is under investigation with the business owner to determine who was driving the van at the time of the incident, Shawinsky said.
