The offending eruption was so loud Collins could apparently hear it through the walls of his apartment. Police say Collins pointed a gun at the flatulent fellow and threatened to put a hole in his head, 1010 WINS' John Montone reported.
"It's natural," one neighbor told Montone. "We all break wind... there's no need for the gun."
Collins has been charged with aggravated assault.
