Geneva police responded in full force after a man pulled out a gun in a bar during a fight on Saturday evening near Plainpalais.
The weapon turned out to be fake – but that wasn’t known at the time.
The owner says two men started to fight at around 9.30pm and one took out the gun, which quickly fell to the floor – and scooped up by other customers.
Several police patrols arrived soon after and arrested a man.
