Neustadt / Weinstrasse (dpa / lrs) - A drunk man with a blank gun has drawn attention to himself in Neustadt an der Weinstrasse.

The 46-year-old, who was out with his girlfriend on Tuesday evening, was noticed by loud screaming, as the police announced on Wednesday morning.

A passer-by informed the officers that he recognized a firearm in the man's hand.

As it turned out later, the 46-year-old had a blank firing revolver and ammunition with him.

However, he could not produce a small gun license.

A breath alcohol test showed about 3.6 per thousand.

Nobody was injured in the incident.

The weapon had been secured.

The public prosecutor's office will be informed, it said.
