Mainz (dpa / lrs) - A 54-year-old man handled a toy gun in Mainz and thus triggered a deployment of the special task force.
Passers-by reported a man with a long gun on a balcony on Tuesday evening, the police announced on Wednesday.
Due to the unclear situation, the police blocked the street.
The SEK forces secured the apartment and contacted the man by phone.
He was surprised but cooperative and handed the officers two toy guns.
The deceptively real-looking weapons had been secured.
According to the information, the man assessed his behavior as "not effective in the public eye".
It will be checked whether the man has violated weapons law.
