Essen (dpa / lnw) - A disguised 21-year-old caused shocked looks after a Halloween celebration in Essen with a replica weapon that looked deceptively real. The man was spotted in Essen Central Station on Tuesday evening, the police reported. Agitated travelers then reported that a man dressed like a character from the well-known South Korean thriller series "Squid Game" was carrying an assault rifle.
The man was then found by the officials with the alleged weapon in his hands on the platform. However, he behaved cooperatively with the officers and put down the gun. As it turned out, it was a so-called airsoft gun - a toy gun with bullets. The man reported that he was returning from a Halloween party. The police seized the airsoft gun.
