A man was arrested on Memorial Day for allegedly waving a gun at a crowd of people following an argument, police said.

Officers received information the man who waved the gun was at a unit in the 1900 block of Foster Avenue Circle, police said. Authorities arrived to find Scott leaving the house. Down to the clothing he wore, the young man matched the description given to police by residents, court documents said.
However, the suspect did not have a gun on him when arrested, police said.
Several witnesses confirmed to police the man – identified as Syeed Scott, 20, of Philadelphia – was the man who waved a handgun at a group of people after fighting with a “juvenile” female and family members, according to law enforcement.
