PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) - Providence Police have arrested a man for assaulting a pizza delivery driver -- by holding a gun to his head.

Officers were called to an apartment at 22 Partridge Street, in an industrial building, after a delivery man for Campus Pizza called police, saying the resident had stuck a gun in his face, yelling at him to vacate the premises -- then proceeding to pay him $40 cash.

Police brought in a SWAT team, worried a shootout might ensue, but said the arrest happened peacefully. A search turned up the gun, hidden in an electrical panel. They've now arrested Joseph Izzo, 50, on charges of assault with a deadly weapon.
