Who did eight armed police arrest in South Ealing on Friday?

Residents in South Ealing on the South Ealing Road by the Popes Lane crossroads were stunned on Friday at lunchtime when eight armed police scooped up and arrested a man on the South Ealing Road. When asked by a local resident what was going on, the resident was told that "You do not need to know". What was this all about? Anyone have an idea?

Clearly NHS budget cuts are affecting policeperson's access to eye care and spectacles (joke!).

Or you are blind and walking down the road and the police claim that your white cane is actually a samurai sword?

What about if you are in a car and a policeman just claims that you had a gun...?

If you come across a man waving a gun around in the street, you do not stop to ask him to prove that it's real. He was damn lucky not to be shot dead.

Re  idiot gets a decent sentence.          xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx    don't hold your breath Keith. If he comes  from a " broken home " and " deprived  background " and possibly other aspects, I suspect he will be let off lightly?.

Let's hope the idiot gets a decent sentence.

Ah! That explains it. A man with a plastic gun. No wonder the police were coy about letting on what was going on. While eight armed policemen is an appropriate response level for an armed man in a public area I guess its a little bit embarrassing when it turns out that it is only a plastic replica pistol! Still, they were not to know!
