During a less-lethal “Bronx Tale”-like fight over a parking space, a man in New Jersey pulled out a spear gun and pointed it at the people he was arguing with.
Bradley Rodriguez, 37, was busted by police after he pulled out a spear gun from his trunk, loaded it and “pointed it in a threatening manner” at people he had been arguing with over a parking spot, the Asbury Park Press reported.
The incident unfolded at the Beach Tacos restaurant in Seaside Park on Aug. 20, the news outlet reported, citing police.
Cops say Rodriguez is affiliated with the taco joint, but it was not immediately clear how.
Rodriguez ultimately was charged with aggravated assault and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.
In the 1993 hit movie “A Bronx Tale,” the kid version of the main character, Calogero Anello (played as an adult by Lillo Brancato Jr.), famously witnesses a murder committed by Sonny (played by Chazz Palminteri) during a fight over a parking space.
Later in the movie, Carmine (played by Joe Pesci) — whom Sonny defended during the fight with another man — was asked by Calogero if the fight was really over a parking space and Carmine responded, “No.”
