A man has been arrested after being caught on viral video, pointing a gun at another driver in West Palm Beach.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office says 20-year-old Ernie Tirado can be seen standing outside his car and waving a gun at a driver in front of him at a red light.

Investigators say Tirado threatened to kill the driver, who is seen pleading with the suspect.

The incident happened last week and tips led deputies to Tirado six days later.

What investigators describe as a realistic-looking airsoft pistol was found in his vehicle, along with multiple shotgun shells and two live 9 millimeter rounds.

Charges against Tirado include aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and improper display of a firearm.
