Video shows the moment armed police swooped on a man with something strapped to him and closed down part of a Derby city centre in the UK.<br /><br />In the video, filmed on Tuesday morning (January 14), a man dressed all in black is kneeling against the side of the Post Office in Derby town centre with his arms raised in front of him with a police car nearby.<br /><br />"My god he's got bombs on him, man!" the panicked filmer can be heard saying in the video. <br /><br />At least five police officers are then seen surrounding the man, with one of them pointing what appears to be a Taser stun gun at the man.<br /><br />“He had a bomb attached to his chest, I’m not 100 percent sure it was real but it certainly got treated and looked real, I’m fine now but being near a terrorist attack, I was shocked,” the filmer told Newsflare.<br /><br />A still image used in the local media shows a man strapped in a thick black vest with packages apparently attached and sat in Babington Lane Post Office. <br /><br />Despite the man appearing to be wearing a bomb jacket, police later said that was no danger to the public.<br /><br />Derbyshire Constabulary said: "Officers were called to reports of a man acting suspiciously in Babington Lane, Derby, at 10.30am this morning.<br /><br />"At the scene a 37-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of a public order offence. The incident was contained swiftly and there is no wider threat to the general public."
