Photos have emerged showing a teen being detained by police after allegedly pointing a toy pistol at people yesterday.
In the photos, which were taken in Auckland and supplied to the Herald, police are also seen holding what appears to be the fake gun.
A young person has been referred to Youth Aid in relation to the incident.
Senior Sergeant Terry Lee, of Tamaki Makaurau Police, said at about 4pm on Saturday several witnesses saw a young person waving and pointing what appeared to be a pistol at people at a bus stop on Lake Rd, Devonport.
