Armed Driver Threatens Another After Edgewater Collision: Police

EDGEWATER, MD — When two pickup trucks passed close enough on an Edgewater road for their exterior mirrors to tangle, one driver appeared to threaten the other with a knife, Anne Arundel County Police said.

The hit-and-run crash was reported about 3:30 p.m. Thursday in the area of Mill Swamp Road and Muddy Creek Road in Edgewater. Officers said two pickup trucks were traveling in opposite directions on Mill Swamp Road and as they passed each other, the driver’s side rear-view mirrors on the trucks collided.

The drivers stopped, one of the drivers got out of their truck, showed a knife, and threatened the other driver, a police report said. The armed driver then got back into his truck and continued south on Muddy Creek Road.

No injuries were reported, and the victim's vehicle sustained minor damage.

The armed suspect was described as an older white man, possibly in his 60s, about 5’10”, with a beard and glasses. The suspect was likely driving a black Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck.

Detectives ask that anyone with information about the confrontation contact them at (410) 222-1960 or call the Anne Arundel County Police Tip Line at (410) 222-4700.
