Toy terror arrest
An 11-year-old boy in the US has been arrested for playing with a toy gun.
The boy, from Ocoee, Florida, is facing felony charges after a witness alerted police, claiming she had "feared for her life" thinking the rubber band gun was real.
The boy’s father has slammed police for their reaction. But officers said the incident, in which the boy was seen pointing the gun out of a window while riding in his father’s pick-up truck, was a serious threat and safety issue.
Ocoee Police Sergeant Randy Conyers said: "With that type of behaviour, it’s hard to tell if it’s a real gun or not, especially in their car." Police did not release images of the gun but the boy’s father said the toy, which only fires rubber bands, looks more like a "stick" than a weapon.
