The knife-wielding driver — Asia Beasley, of Orange — had attempted to cut in front of the victim in line for air at the QuickChek on 22nd Street in Bayonne around 11:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 29, Police Capt. Eric Amato said.
After parking at the pumps to fill his tires, the victim knelt to the ground to fill a tir, and was startled by Beasley standing over him with a knife in her hand, threatening his life, Amato said.
Responding officers found Beasley on Route 440 near Goldsborough Drive, police said. Officers seized a knife from Beasley and arrested her on charges of aggravated assault, terroristic threats and weapon possession, authorities said.
