Police in England have arrested a man for firearms offences after he fired an imitation gun from a balcony on a residential block.

Armed police and a helicopter are on the scene at a shopping centre in Chatham, in Kent, south-east England. They initially responded to reports of a man with multiple weapons shooting from a block of flats.

Onlookers described a series of bangs and online footage appeared to show the man firing a weapon in the air.

The suspect appears to have filmed and livestreamed part of the incident on an Instagram page which appears to belong to him.
