Video shows man flashing replica gun at Union Station security guard

Article content

A shocking video circulating on social media shows a man flashing what police say was a replica gun at a security guard in Union Station’s food court this week.

In the two-minute clip shared by 6ixBuzzTV, several security guards are seen grabbing a woman who begins to scream while a man tries to intervene.

The woman then drops to the ground and the man backs off before he briefly waves the replica handgun at the face of a male security guard.

Some guards back away from the man as he goes to help the woman off the ground. “Let’s go now,” he says.

However, the guards quickly grab the woman again while she pleads for them to let her leave.

“Please let me go. I didn’t do anything,” she says.

The woman is slowly brought to the ground by security while another group of guards hold the man a short distance away.
