UPPER EAST SIDE — A Louisiana man pointed a gun at another driver during a road rage incident on the Queensboro Bridge, and then was found carrying another gun and a machete in his car, according to the NYPD

Kevin Yudianto, 24, was driving a Chevrolet Suburban toward Manhattan at 9:30 a.m. on Dec. 30, when a 49-year-old man in a white van sideswiped him, according to police and the criminal complaint.

Yudianto then pulled out a handgun, pointed it at the man driving the white van and ordered him to pull over, prompting the victim to call police, authorities said.

Yudianto fled in his car, but officers caught up with him at East 81st Street and First Avenue. When police searched his car, they found him carrying two loaded handguns, ammunition and a holster on the floor of the passenger's side, and a machete in a green duffel bag in the back seat, according to the criminal complaint.

He was charged with two counts of criminal possession of a weapon, according to the Manhattan District Attorney's office.

His bail was set at $10,000 cash and $25,000 bond. He's due back in court on Jan. 4.

His Legal Aid attorney did not immediately return a call for comment.
