UK Police Storm Train After Mistaking Umbrella For Samurai Sword [PICS]

On Monday morning, two days after the Leytonstone Station Tube attack which police are treating as a terror related crime, a young Londoner was sought out by officers on a packed train at Deptford after receiving reports that he was armed.

But Ray Brown, 22, had an umbrella. A British Transport Police spokesman confirmed officers were called to Deptford Station after passengers raised the alarm. Brown later said: “That picture makes me look like I’m about to take over the train, because of the Russian hat and the Samurai sword umbrella.”
