The Southborough Police posted a statement yesterday morning about a Marlborough resident charged with Assault by Means of a Dangerous Weapon for allegedly pointing an air pistol at another driver.
The charges stem from their investigation of an alleged road rage incident in Southborough:
Southborough Police were called to investigate a report of a road rage incident involving a handgun on Friday, May 5th around 8pm on Turnpike Road (Rt 9) in Southborough.
