A man was taken into custody after he allegedly pointed a gun at a bus driver following a minor traffic incident Sunday in Back of the Yards.
The man was driving a gray 2000 Chevy Silverado about 11:30 a.m. when he struck a bus in the 5100 block of South Ashland Avenue, Chicago police said.
When the driver of the bus, a 37-year-old woman, got out to take pictures of the Silverado the man stepped out of his car and pointed a handgun at her, police said. The man then got back into his car and drove off. He then came back to the scene and pointed the gun at a 57-year-old man.
Officers later located the vehicle at a nearby park and took the man into custody as he tossed a gun into a lagoon, according to police spokesman Tom Ahern. The gun was fished out of the water by the marine unit.
Charges are pending.
