A Malden man driving on Sturtevant Street threatened a father and son with a pipe on Dec. 28, police said. Before he could get away, the quick thinking victim snapped a photo of the pipe wielding suspect using his cell phone, police said.

Omar Otero-Torres, 23, allegedly held the pipe up and yelled at the victim, “I got you now!” before driving off, police said. The victim was driving a truck with a plow attached to it and clearing snow in the area, police said.

When police stopped Torres they allegedly found a pipe matching the one described by the victim. Torres was arrested and charged with assault with a dangerous weapon.
