The Bengaluru police Sunday arrested a 25-year-old man for allegedly threatening a family travelling in a car with a dagger in a road rage incident at Whitefield.

The accused has been identified as Sayed Arbaz Khan, a resident of RT Nagar who works in a fish shop. The incident took place Friday near the Nexus Shantiniketan mall.

According to the FIR registered by the Kadugodi police, Khan, riding his bike, allegedly blocked the complainant’s car, abused him, pulled out a dagger, and threatened the occupants of the vehicle before fleeing from the spot.

The dashcam footage from the complainant’s car showed the accused getting off his two-wheeler following an argument over a traffic issue and brandishing the weapon in a threatening manner, the police said.

The police tracked the accused after the scooter’s registration was captured by the car’s dashboard camera. The scooter was registered in Khan’s name, the police said.

The police booked the accused under relevant provisions of the Arms Act and under sections 126 (wrongful restraint), 351 (criminal intimidation), and 352 (intentional insult with intent to provoke a breach of peace) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).

The police said Khan previously had four cases against him, including two for causing injury, one for conspiracy to commit dacoity, and one for bike theft in Bengaluru.
