The incident unfolded on Hospital Road at about 1pm on Thursday.

The NSW Police said the replica gun was fired into the ground several times. 

Emergency services raced to the scene with four police cars spotted near the premises.

‘We think it was a gel blaster.’

The man drove off after discharging the replica firearm.

No injuries have been reported.
