According to the criminal complaint, the 43-year-old shouted at the boy when he ran back to the door to retrieve candy mistakenly left at the wrong house.

A Long Island man is facing charges for allegedly pointing a gun at a 6-year-old boy who police said mistakenly left candy on the man's doorstep.

Police said the boy's mother drove her son and his 10-year-old sister to what she thought was a friend's house on Rockcrest Road in Manhasset on Saturday, three days before Halloween. The two kids jumped out of their mom's car and rang the home's doorbell before leaving a bag of candy on the porch and getting back into the car, according to police.

Not along after, the mom reportedly realized the family had made the candy delivery at the wrong house and turned back around. When the 6-year-old ran back to the porch to retrieve the candy, police said 43-year-old Michael Wen opened his front door and pointed a gun at the boy's head.Wen was arraigned Sunday morning on charges of menacing and endangering the welfare of a child. Attorney contact information for the Manhasset man was not immediately known.
