A road rage incident on Monday led to a man pulling out a firearm in front of a young child, according to police.

Police said the incident occurred when a man driving a “burnt” orange Dodge Ram pickup truck made a restricted turn on Route 6, also known as Main Street, nearly striking another motorist. The motorist who was nearly hit yelled at the driver of the pickup truck, who police allege then pulled out a black handgun that was described as a “Glock 45.”

According to police, the man who pulled out the gun had a young girl in his truck. She was possibly as young as 8 years old, police said. She was wearing glasses and had blonde hair in a ponytail.

The driver of the orange truck has been described as a man between 30 and 40 years old, with short hair and buzzed sides.

The man who allegedly pulled the gun left the area on Route 6, headed toward Thomaston.

Police are investigating the incident and are seeking help from the public. Anyone with information has been asked to contact Officer Dean Cyr at 860-589-7779 or dcyr@plymouthct.us.
