Comical chase ends with replica gun charge

Rebecca Trigger, The West Australian January 31, 2013, 7:52 am

A man carrying a replica gun outside the Hippie Club in Leederville last night has been arrested by police.

About 1.45am police were told a man was armed with a weapon and behaving suspiciously outside the nightclub.

He fled when confronted by officers but ran into the side of a passing car, police spokesman Neil Stanbury said.

He ran off again but collided with a pedestrian and then a fence.

Police allege he was carrying a replica fire arm.

He has been charged with going armed in public so as to cause fear and will appear in court next month.
