A LATE night fracas at Hendrefoelan student village led to a man being arrested by police for being in possession of an imitation firearm.
Two men who were not students were harassed whilst walking through the student village late at night, by students who started throwing eggs and potatoes at them.
One of the men allegedly came back to the student village with an air powered gun, which is capable of firing metal ball bearings.
When approached by security who were patrolling, the man was said to be lying in a ditch holding the gun that, according to eyewitness sources, ‘looked like a proper machine gun’.
One security official sustained minor injuries whilst pursuing the gunman, and it is unclear as to whether any students were injured.
The man was later released without charge.
