A man was sentenced to prison for threatening an elderly man with a gun during a parking space argument in Philadelphia last year, according to the city’s district attorney’s office.<\/p>\n

Yousef Purdie, 33, was convicted of VUFA 6105 and sentenced to four to eight years, the DA’s office’s Elder Justice Unit said.<\/p>\n

According to the DA’s office, Purdie pulled a gun on a 76-year-old man after an argument over a parking space outside of the Laundromat America in Philadelphia’s East Parkside section on March 12, 2023.<\/p>\n

Investigators said surveillance video<\/a>\u00a0showed the 76-year-old man pulling into a parking space when Purdie, who was with his girlfriend and two children, parked near him and approached his car.<\/p>\n

The DA’s office said Purdie told the man to leave the parking spot, but the man refused to move. Purdie then took out a gun before he returned to his car, the DA’s office said.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia police responded to the incident and found the gun in Purdie’s girlfriend’s purse.<\/p>\n
