Mixed reactions as woman sneaks up on policeman and carries his gun (Watch video)

A video making the rounds online shows the moment a woman took possession of a police officer’s weapon while he was sleeping.

The policeman was spotted sleeping at his duty post, when the woman snuck up on him and pick up the rifle he positioned beside him.

Shortly after she grabbed the gun, he woke up and seemed to have panicked upon seeing her with his service weapon.

The woman however, handed it back to him without uttering a word and he in turn collected the rifle without questioning her.

It is not immediately clear if she is also a police officer or a random citizen who wanted to teach him to be more careful with his weapon.
