A West Kelowna woman captured a video of a police incident Saturday where officers had their guns drawn. A person dressed as Batman sauntered over to officers after jumping out of his 鈥淏atmobile鈥� when a section of road off of Pandosy Street was closed at the time.

鈥淎ll I know is the police had a section of Pandosy blocked off and had their guns drawn. Batman pulled up in front of us, jumped out and ran to help before he was sent away due to it being unsafe,鈥� Melissa Parent said.
She said as far as she knew, the man鈥檚 name is Bruce Wayne.
Parent was on her way back from visiting friends in the area, when she filmed the unusual scene.
Paul MacDougall, corporate and client services officer with the Kelowna RCMP, said police were responding to a domestic incident and were informed a firearm may have been involved.
鈥淔urther investigation revealed no firearm involved and no charges were laid,鈥� he said.
鈥淎s to the presence of 鈥楤atman鈥� at the scene, when there is an unfolding event which is potentially serious in nature as most people would assume by the fact that members were deployed with Carbines out the public should remain away from the area as they are putting themselves and the lives of the responding members in jeopardy.
鈥淪ituations like this are dynamic and subject to change very quickly, the presence of 鈥楤atman鈥� or anyone else is an unwanted distraction and foolish as they are placing themselves at risk,鈥� he said.
