A North Bay man has been arrested and charged after police say a knife was pulled in a road rage incident on Dutrisac Road in West Nipissing.

On March 14 shortly before 12:30 p.m., OPP responded to a weapon complaint.

It was reported that two vehicles had been involved in a road rage incident on Highway 17 and pulled onto a side road to confront each other.

"One driver brandished a knife while uttering a threat to harm the other driver," says Constable Rob Lewis in a news release.
