Scared passengers on a Sydney train called police about a man on the train wearing a menacing red and black one-piece costume was carrying deadly weapons.
When the train pulled in at Blacktown station about 7.20am, uniformed officers jumped on board and bundled the man out of the carriage onto the platform.
Another five officers, including a sergeant and a constable wearing bulletproof vests, surrounded the man who appeared to have two automatic pistols strapped to his legs; a bandolier of bullets across his chest, grenades hanging from his belt and two samurai swords sticking out of his black bag.
But after police spoke to the man the found that all the “weapons” were plastic fakes and he was dressed as “Spiderman” as part of a charity fundraising campaign called Superhero Week.
He was wearing the costume to work to help raise money for Bear Cottage at Manly, a hospice for children.
