DETECTIVES have charged a man with assault following a road rage incident in which two terrified men were allegedly threatened with a gun.

As reported in the BEN last weekend the two men alerted police after their shock ordeal at the junction of Chorley Old and Chorley New Road, on the outskirts of Bolton town centre, last Friday.

The arrested man, aged 26, has been bailed to appear before Bolton magistrates on July 7.
