Ex-policeman apprehends actor while shooting burglary scene
Hupton pinned him up against a wall – only to realise he had stumbled on a film shoot.
SEDBERGH (Web Desk) - Much to the surprise of the film crew the policeman shouted "Where do you think you re going?" at actor Jason Redshaw.
Mr Redshaw was playing a robber who had just attacked an elderly woman in low-budget film, 27 Memory Lane, in the Cumbrian town of Sedbergh.
Director Luke Hupton, 24, ran across the road and persuaded the former policeman to release the actor.
Mr Hupton said: "The robber was running down the street and the policeman was coming out of somewhere further down and he grabbed him.
"He had him pinned against a wall and had asked him: "Where do you think you re going? before I could
"The cameraman was running down the road, following the two actors, when this guy grabs the burglar. He obviously didn t see the cameraman.
"He told us he was an ex-special ops cop and he instinctively went for him. He had a laugh about it afterwards."
The moment before the incident was captured on film – showing the unnamed former policeman in a brown jacket as the robber sprints past.
However, it is the last frame as the cameraman, realising his shot had been wrecked, put the camera down.
The crew were filming scenes for 27 Memory Lane, a low-budget 100-minute film in which a divorced doctor is gifted an antique door that sends him back 25 years in search of the only woman he ever loved. It is to be shown at the Cannes Film Festival.
