A man has been charged after he allegedly pointed a gun at another motorist in Sydney’s south.
A woman was driving along Botany Street in Kingsford with her two young children about 11.30am (AEST) on Wednesday when a man in a passing car pointed a black firearm at her, police say.
When the woman saw the man pull into a nearby driveway, she called police.
The man was confronted by officers as he emerged from his townhouse’s garage and was allegedly carrying a replica pistol.
He immediately dropped the fake gun and was arrested, police said.
The 21-year-old has since been charged with carrying a firearm in a manner likely to injure a person, custody of an offensive implement, common assault and driving while disqualified.
He is set to appear in Waverley Local Court later on Thursday.
