A local man has been arrested after a knife was pulled during a road rage incident in Chatham.

The Chatham-Kent Police Service said officers responded to a disturbance at the intersection of Lacroix Street and Richmond Street shortly before 1 p.m. on Thursday.

According to police, two men who were unknown to each other had become involved in a traffic dispute when one of them exited his vehicle and approached the other man’s driver’s side window while holding a knife in a threatening manner.

As a result, a 34-year-old Chatham man was arrested and charged with possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose. He was later released from custody with an August court date.
