Sydney man charged over pistol train pics SOCIAL media photos of three men carrying a replica pistol on a Sydney train have landed one of them in court. Police say the images were reported to them on October 1. They identified the prop, which is an offence to possess in NSW. Officers on Wednesday spotted one of the suspects at Hornsby Railway Station. The 22-year-old local has been issued a court attendance notice for the offence of possessing an unauthorised pistol. He is due to appear at Downing Centre Local Court on November 18. Inquiries into the two others photographed are continuing.
