Angry driver pulls sword in Qld road rage

A driver has been threatened with a sword during a terrifying road rage incident in Cairns.

Police say two vehicles were involved in a minor crash on Tuesday afternoon.

The two drivers ended up yelling abuse at each other, with one pulling out a sword and making threats during the exchange.

A 23-year-old man has been charged with going armed to cause fear. He'll face a Cairns court later this month.
