Thai soldier caught in 'gun road rage'

BANGKOK - Footage from a dash cam shows a soldier with a gun advancing on a family of three, apparently threatening to shoot them in Chiang Mai on Monday.

The incident was related to a preceding road-rage incident in the province's Mae Rim district.

The footage shows the wife of a man trying to prevent her husband from continuing to argue as the soldier brandishes a gun.

The incident luckily ended without anyone being shot, and the soldier is expected to soon be taken into custody, police said.
