Man points firearm at driver during Littleton road rage incident, police say

LITTLETON, Mass. — Littleton police said they arrested a man who allegedly pointed a gun at another driver during a road rage incident Monday.

The victim called police around noon and reported another driver, who was later identified as Colin Sperandio, 44, of Acton, had threatened him with a firearm after the alleged altercation while driving their vehicles.

The victim reported that he was traveling eastbound on Great Road when Sperandio allegedly passed him in the oncoming lane.

According to the victim, when he beeped his horn, Sperandio slammed on his breaks and pointed the firearm at him before fleeing.

Littleton police were able to locate Sperandio a short time later and he was taken into custody. Police said they were also able to locate the alleged firearm.

Sperandio was arraigned in court Monday on charges of assault with a dangerous weapon, unlawful possession of a firearm, possession of a firearm without an FID card and negligent operation of a motor vehicle.

He was released on personal recognizance on conditions that he wouldn’t carry a firearm or ammunition, and that he has no avoidable contact with the victim.

Sperandio is due back in court in September.
