A 35-year-old man was arrested Saturday for allegedly brandishing a fake gun at the parking area for the Mumbai airport's cargo vehicles, police said.

The incident occurred in the wee hours on June 7 in the parking area, around one km from the international airport.

A CCTV grab of the incident shows a drunk man riding pillion on a motorcycle brandishing a small firearm at the staff on duty and trying to intimidate them, a police official said.

While the person, identified as Sunil Madgune, has been arrested, police are looking for three of his aides who accompanied him on two motorcycles, he said.

Madgunde works as a sweeper with the Mumbai civic body.

A case has been registered under section 506 (2) (Punishment for criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Arms Act.
