WESTFIELD – A road rage incident Wednesday afternoon led to the arrest of three men.
A female motorist called police at 2:48 p.m. Wednesday reporting a road rage incident on Route 20 saying someone in a vehicle that contained four occupants allegedly revealed a handgun.
Route 20, in the area where East Main Street becomes Springfield Road, police stopped the vehicle involved in the incident, but it then only contained three occupants and no gun was recovered, said Westfield Police Lt. Jay Pitoniak.
