Though parts of the video have been edited out by police, officials said that it shows the moment an argument began outside a Rita's Water Ice before a woman, described as being heavy set and wearing an orange shirt and blue shorts at the time of the incident, is alleged to have pulled out a gun and threatened another woman.
Officials said after the woman made threats, she put the black handgun away and got into a blue Mitsubishi compact SUV and fled the scene on Stenton Avenue.
Police are asking anyone who might have information on this incident to contact the Philadelphia Police Department's Northeast Detective's Division at 215-686-3353/3354.
