A man pulled a gun on a 13-year-old boy during an argument, police said.

The event occurred on Thursday, May 11, at 5:04 p.m. when police arrived to investigate a domestic situation located at 9800 block of McGill Court near Manassas, according to a Prince William County Police press release.

When officers arrived, the suspect was found and handcuffed. Minor injuries were found on both the suspect and the boy, according to police.
