Four film-makers were arrested in Australia after neighbours mistook an armed confrontation scene for the real thing.

Police cordoned off an apartment building in Melbourne after a woman told police she'd seen a man with a gun, the Melbourne Herald Sun reported.

"Police went to the apartment block on Canning St and saw a man pointing a firearm at the head of another," police spokesman Wayne Wilson said.

"The area was cordoned off the area and even the critical incident response team was called in to arrest those involved."

Senior Constable Wilson said it was only when officers found the filming equipment that they realised it had all been an act.

"Under the Act, if you think it's a firearm, it's a firearm," Sen-Constable Wilson said. "It's likely to put an end to their film careers for the time-being."

Senior Sergeant Stephen Cooper added: "They hadn't notified any persons what they were doing down here today, there were no permits, they hadn't had the courtesy to notify even the security within the premises here."
