For the second time in a week, Newton Police are reporting an apparent road rage incident that resulted in one driver pulling out a gun. 

According to police reports, the Newton Police Department received information from the Wellesley Police Department around 6:30 p.m. Wednesday regarding a road rage incident on Route 9 that involved one driver showing a black handgun.

The victim, who initially reported the incident to a Wellesley detail officer, told police he was driving on Route 9 westbound when another driver brandished a black handgun at him near the Elliot Street intersection in Newton.

The suspect was also traveling westbound on Route 9, reports said. He was described as a heavy-set man wearing glasses and driving a black Toyota Tacoma. 

After receiving the report, Wellesley Police managed to stop the Toyota Tacoma and found the driver was in possession of a double-edged knife and a loaded .380 Beretta handgun. 

Joseph Foppiano, 46, of 6 Leewood Road, Wellesley, was initially arrested in Wellesley for possession of a dangerous weapon (double-edged knife). After the Newton Police Department was notified of the incident, Foppiano was transported to Newton and charged with assault with a dangerous weapon (handgun). 

Foppiano was properly licensed to carry the handgun, reports said. 

This is the second weapons-related road rage incident in Newton in the last week; on Thursday, Feb. 14, a Newton man was arrested after he allegedly pulled a loaded gun on a fellow driver on Dedham Street.

Foppiano was scheduled to be arraigned today in Newton District Court, police said.
