Maryland authorities are searching for a woman who was filmed pulling a gun on a juvenile male, TMZ reports.

According to the Montgomery County Police department, the incident took place during a traffic dispute on Jan. 16 in downtown Silver Spring. Law enforcement has not specified when it obtained the footage, which was taken by a witness, but released it to the public on Tuesday.

Police say the incident began shortly before 2:25 p.m. local time on the 900 block of Ellsworth Drive, where a female motorist got out of her car and started arguing with a skateboarder. It’s unclear what sparked the confrontation, but police say a female passerby interjected herself into the dispute for unknown reasons. Once the first female suspect began confronting the juvenile, a second woman reportedly went to a vehicle parked on the side and then drove toward the altercation. The second woman then exited the car and handed a firearm to the first female suspect, who then used it to threaten the young skateboarder.
