Gun Pulled During Stockton Road Rage Incident



 BY OLI GOELDNER

A Sydney man will face court today after he allegedly pulled out a fire-arm during a road-rage incident in Newcastle.

At around 11.50am yesterday, a minor collision occurred on Stockton Bridge, with both vehicles damaged.

Both drivers stopped on Teal Street in Kooragang, where their conversation escalated and one man allegedly threatened the other with a firearm.

They both quickly fled the scene.

One of the drivers, a 56-year-old man, later reported the incident at Waratah Police Station.

Following extensive inquiries, a 77-year-old man was arrested and a firearm was seized at a home in Ryde.

He was charged with two offences and refused bail to appear before Burwood Local Court today.
