The video begins ominously. Two Tiktokers run along the streets of Thuns BE. The cell phone is pointed at the floor. One says: “Oh my God Bro”. Suddenly they start running. When they slow down a few seconds later, the video shows a man lying on the floor. There are at least six police officers standing around him. Some hold him tight, others aim guns at him. A female police officer runs away with a large rifle. The man on the floor says: “This is a toy”. And later: “It’s Halloween”.
The Tiktokers laugh. Then the video ends.
What has happened there? Was there actually a man walking through Thun with a real rifle? Blick asked the Bern canton police. Answers are pending. (vof)
