A LATE-night Maccas run has resulted in charges for a man who allegedly threatened a teenage girl with a firearm.

Police will allege in court just before midnight on February 4, a 17-year-old girl attended McDonald’s Bankstown on the corner of Rickard Rd and Sir Joseph Banks St to pick up a family member.

The girl left her car running with her lights projecting onto another vehicle.

As she left the carpark, a white Toyota Corolla allegedly followed and pulled up next to her near the intersection with Chapel Rd.

The 36-year-old male driver allegedly abused the girl and her passenger before producing a firearm and threatening them.
