Whitehall<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>By: Edward Sieger<br \/>\nS. WHITEHALL TWP., Pa. &#8211; When South Whitehall Township police responded to a reported road rage incident Wednesday, officers arrived to find the suspect being held at gunpoint by a witness.<\/p>\n<p>Matthew J. Gavilanes, of South Fifth Street in Allentown, faces assault charges following his arrest in the 3000 block of Tilghman Street. District Judge Rashid Santiago arraigned the 18-year-old hours after his arrest, setting bail at $25,000.<\/p>\n<p>Township police were dispatched to the scene about 1 p.m. for a report of a fight involving a knife. Officers arrived to find Gavilanes on the ground being held at gunpoint by a witness, according to court records.<\/p>\n<p>The victim told police that Gavilanes started chasing him through Allentown over a road rage incident and followed him to the scene, according to records. The chase started at 24th and Hamilton streets, and Gavilanes allegedly ran red lights to catch the victim. Court records do not detail the alleged road rage incident that sparked the chase.<\/p>\n<p>The victim alleges Gavilanes swung a large knife at his abdomen, threatening to kill him. He reportedly punched Gavilanes in the face and wrestled him to the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Township police said a surveillance video of the incident shows Gavilanes pull into a parking lot, begin arguing with the victim and back into a parking spot. He&#8217;s seen taking something from the trunk of his car and putting it in his waistband. Gavilanes then approaches the victim, pulls the item from his waistband and slashes at the victim.<\/p>\n<p>A witness told police that Gavilanes continued to try to stab the victim and threatened to kill him while on the ground.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>0 \/ 1 \/ 0<br \/>\nRead the rest of the article here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wfmz.com\/news\/lehigh-valley\/allentown-man-allegedly-pulls-knife-in-road-rage-incident\/1084101435\">WFMZ<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It is not the function of our government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the government from falling into error. \u2014 <strong>Justice Robert H.
