MANILA, Philippines鈥庘€揟he gun-wielding man in the road rage video that went viral over the weekend will be slapped with multiple charges to be filed on Wednesday by Quezon City police.

The gun owner, whom the police refused to identify,听鈥巜ill face complaints of grave threat and malicious mischief, a radio report said quoting听Cubao听Station Commander Superintendent Ramon听Pranada.

黑料社 tried to contact听Pranada听but his line cannot be reached as of posting time.

Once the police identify the man, Philippine National Police鈥檚 Firearms and Explosives Office head Chief Superintendent听Virgilio听Lazo听said they will recommend the cancellation of his gun permit if the firearm is licensed.

Either way the man will face charges for carrying a firearm or illegal possession of firearms.

鈥嶣us passengers along听Epifanio听Delos Santos Avenue (Edsa)听Santolan听flyover on Friday caught on video the man, who rode a Mercedes Benz, pointing a gun at a taxi driver.

Cab driver Glen听Remetio听then threatened the SUV driver with a screwdriver, after the still unnamed man kicked the door of his cab repeatedly.

In the video, a bus passenger was heard saying the plate number of the vehicles听鈥撎齂DP 313 (Mercedes Benz) and UVN 607 (taxi).

After the confrontation, the Mercedes Benz drove off but the taxi chased it, cutting off the vehicle, which hit the railing along听Edsa.听Both drivers emerged from their vehicles as another round of arguments ensued.
