18-year-old man was cautioned after he was caught on CCTV brandishing a ball-bearing gun from a car.

Armed police were called after a CCTV operator spotted the man brandishing the BB gun at another man in Corn Street, Witney, shortly before 1am on Thursday last week.

Officers pulled over the car the man was travelling in and took him to Witney police station, where he told police he had pointed the gun at a friend.

He was issued with a formal police caution for possession of a firearm in a public place.
