An internet celebrity was arrested by Chinese police during a live broadcast with 20,000 viewers when he pulled out a toy gun and began waving it about in front of a train station.

The man, Xu Fei (pseudonym), is a 32-year-old unemployed resident of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. He is a native of China’s northeastern rustbelt. He gets part of his income through magic stunts on D0louYuTv, a website that allows free-lance performers to find audiences.

Xu was looking at and filming military police and their parked Police Tactical Unit patrol vehicles in the broadcast when he got into trouble, Zhejiang’s Qianjiang Evening News reported on Feb. 28.
