After the group left the house, the 46-year-old occupant allegedly set a Nissan utility and motorcycle on fire out the front of the home, before firing multiple shotgun rounds at them.

No one was injured during the incident.

Officers from Hawkesbury Police Area Command arrived a short time later and arrested the man, and NSW Fire and Rescue extinguished the blaze.

The man was taken to Windsor Police Station and charged with possess unregistered unauthorised prohibited firearm in public place, fire firearm in or near public place (DV) and damage property by fire.
