Gun-toting road rager foiled in getaway when his moped stalls, police say

Boston Police report arresting a man for a road-rage incident in the South End this afternoon.

Police say Giovanni Pagan, 25, reacted to being passed on Tremont Street near Mass. Ave. around 1 p.m. by smacking the driver's mirror and, when the driver pulled over to check the damage, pulled his little putt-putting cycle over, whipped out a gun and used it to threaten the motorist.

According to the victim, the suspect was last seen pushing his moped away from the scene because the moped had stalled. In short time, officers located an individual fitting the suspect’s description in the area of 9 Trotter Court.

Officers took the victim over there and he identified Pagan, who was then arrested on a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon, police say, adding that by the time officers got to him, he no longer had the gun.

Innocent, etc.
