Belfast: Arrest after ‘man with gun’ approached train passengers

The “extremely frightened” girl got off the train at the next stop, police said.

Train staff had been alerted and the man was escorted off at Lanyon Place Station.

While being detained by security staff at the train station, he pointed the gun at them.

The man was searched by responding police officers and he was found to be carrying a BB gun.

The suspect was arrested on suspicion of impersonating a police officer and possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence.

He remains in police custody.

“This was a disturbing and upsetting ordeal for all of the young women involved. No one should be subject to this kind of harassing and intimidating behaviour anywhere, at any time. It is truly deplorable,” Det Sgt McCartan said.

Detectives have appealed for witnesses to contact them.
