The passenger of a red Mazda 6 may have pointed a firearm at another driver near Helensburgh last week, police say.
Police are appealing for information as investigations into the road rage incident continue.
A NSW Police spokesperson said police were informed that a 30-year-old man was driving his silver Ford Fiesta north on the Princes Highway near Helensburgh last Thursday (24 July).
“He overtook a Toyota Hiace van, which began tailgating the driver,” the spokesperson said.
“A red Mazda 6 then squeezed in between the two vehicles and began tailgating the Ford Fiesta as well.
“When the Ford Fiesta changed lanes, the Mazda vehicle allegedly approached alongside it, before the driver pointed an item resembling a firearm toward the Ford driver.
“The Mazda continued through toward Sutherland.”
Police said the driver of the Mazda is of Mediterranean/Middle Eastern appearance, aged in his late 20s, of large build, with a black curly skin-fade haircut and stubble on his chin.
The vehicle is described as a red Mazda 6 sedan with dust covering the skirting and the roof.
The alleged firearm is described as a black pistol.
Police urge anyone who may have been driving in that area at the time and may have dashcam footage or CCTV of the van to call police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Information is treated in strict confidence. The public is reminded not to report information via NSW Police social media pages.
