Rye police on Thursday arrested a Yonkers man for flashing what looked like a hand gun during a road rage incident on Boston Post Road.
Police charged John Chin, 63, of Yonkers, with menacing after the incident. Back in 2021 Chin was also arrested for menacing and criminal mischief in White Plains, the Rye Police Department confirmed.
Cops responded to an individual who claimed Chin had blocked his car at the entrance to the Rye Golf Club on June 19. When the individual honked their horn, Chin then allegedly pointed “what appeared to be a black handgun” at the individual, according to the department.
The individual took note of Chin’s license plate and reported it to police, who later located him inside his vehicle on Boston Post Road near Peck Avenue.
While police said they didn’t recover a gun inside Chin’s car, officers found a black Daisy Power pellet gun just off the sidewalk of the Boston Post Road at the intersection of Sonn Drive.
He’s due back in Rye City Court on July 8.
