Stripper arrested over toy gun in Germany


Police in the German city of Frankfurt am Main mistakenly arrested a stripper after being told about a man with a gun, which turned out to be a toy.

The incident happened on Friday evening, when police said a “suspicious man” was seen on a street in the city’s Nordend district.

He was wearing a US police uniform and helmet and was thought to be carrying an assault rifle.

The man had in fact been hired for a stag party at a nearby pub.

Police got the man on the ground and handcuffed him before discovering the gun was a toy. He was then released.

“He was carrying a deceptively real-looking toy gun,” police said in a statement.

“The 31-year-old underestimated the martial effect of his own outfit.”
