Police: Abingdon Man Charged For Pointing Gun At Vehicle In 'Road Rage Incident'

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- An Abingdon man has been arrested and charged after it was reported he pointed a handgun at another vehicle at the intersection of South Tollgate Gate Road and MD Rt. 24 Thursday morning.

Bradley R. Krueger, 23, was charged with first and second degree assault and reckless endangerment. He was taken before a court commissioner and released on his own recognizance.

The investigation began around 5:30 a.m. when the JFK Highway Barrack received a call from a person traveling southbound on I-95 who reported he had just been a victim of a road rage incident.

The victim described a gray Chevrolet Trailblazer that was being driven in an erratic manner on South Tollgate Road, and advised that while stopped at the intersection of South Tollgate and MD Rt. 24, the man driving the Trailblazer pointed a handgun (pictured below) at him.

In fear for his life, the victim said he sped off from the intersection only to be followed by the suspect, who was still driving erratically.

Both vehicles exited onto southbound I-95 where the suspect then threw an unknown object out of his vehicle striking the victim's vehicle. The victim was able to slow to a safe distance from the suspect and call police.

A short time later, the suspect vehicle pulled into a Royal Farms Store on Pulaski Highway in Middle River where troopers were able to locate and apprehend Krueger without further incident.

A subsequent search of Krueger's vehicle revealed a black BB gun that resembled a semi-automatic handgun.
