A man unconnected with the crash was detained on Ranelagh Street
A man was found with a suspected imitation gun and a knife after police officers attended the scene of a crash. Merseyside Police were called to Ranelagh Street in Liverpool city centre at 4.45pm on Saturday following reports that a man in his 30s had been hit by a private hire taxi. A number of police vehicles and North West Ambulance Service attended the scene - the car's windscreen had been cracked during the crash.
While officers were at the scene, they were made aware by Citywatch camera operators that a man, unconnected with the road traffic collision, had been seen nearby in possession of a suspected imitation firearm. Enquiries suggest it was a BB gun. A short time later, a man was detained on Ranelagh Street on suspicion of possession of an imitation firearm and possession of a bladed article. He is currently in custody and enquiries into both incidents are ongoing.
