Police in the US are investigating a detective who appears to draw his gun during a mass snowball fight on the streets of Washington DC.
Video taken at the scene shows people pelting a man with snowballs after his car, a Hummer, gets stuck in the snow.
The man - not in uniform at the time - then appears to pull out a gun while an angry crowd gathers and chants: "Don't bring a gun to a snowball fight."
At one point on the video the man identifies himself as a "detective", but refuses to give his full name. Then he proceeds to admit to pulling his gun.
"Yes I did because I got hit by snowballs," he tells angry residents who demand to know his badge number.
The confrontation, which took place on Saturday, ended only when other policemen were despatched to the scene, and managed to calm everyone down.
