Chainsaw pulled out in road-rage brawl

A shirtless man who allegedly revved a chainsaw in a frightening road rage incident in Sydney's west has been charged.

The incident unfolded in Fairfield on Tuesday afternoon. Dashcam footage shows a shirtless man sprinting up to a stationary white jeep driven by another man.

The footage, uploaded to Facebook, shows a man throwing punches through an open window as the driver retaliates by hurling a drink.

Two tradies wearing hi-vis wear rush to the driver's aid, and a fight erupts among the four before the the shirtless man is subdued.

He is seen storming off before returning moments later wielding a running chainsaw as onlookers scream.

A 25-year-old man was arrested and charged on Wednesday night, police said.

He's been granted conditional bail to appear at Fairfield Local Court on May 7 where he faces charges of affray armed with intent to commit an indictable offence.
