Teen allegedly busted with knife and fake gun outside AFL match as league is hit with another security scare

A teenager has allegedly been caught with a knife and a fake gun while trying to enter an AFL match without a ticket. The 15-year-old approached the gate at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne on Saturday afternoon, attempting to enter the match between Essendon and the Sydney Swans. The teen, who arrived without a ticket and was unable to get into the game, was searched by nearby officers, who found he was carrying a small knife and a fake gun. Police issued the youth with a caution. The AFL has been contacted for comment. It is the second time the AFL has been rocked by a weapons incident after two men were allegedly caught with guns at a Carlton-Collingwood clash with more than 82,000 fans at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in April. The weapons were discovered after the pair, who were on bail, refused a security request to leave the venue due to their behaviour. Officials blamed the incident on a 'breakdown' in screening measures.
